Halloween Mini-LDC 2017

Yes, even old-fashioned game misadventures are getting their own turn in the spotlight.

You can enter both Super Mario 63 and Last Legacy levels here, but they've got to follow a couple standard rules. First and foremost, it's got to be sp  :blab:  :blab: ky. Second, your level must have up to 4K tiles, and not one more. Trust me, that's already plenty enough to work with.

You've got until October 31ˢᵗ, 11:59 PM PST to send us your shenanigans.
All entries go in the Vault, one level per user and reservations are welcome. Good luck!

Er, one quick question.
I just made a level for this, and it mostly relies on the new SWF exploit. About a couple days ago, there were talks about banning SWFs in contests. In that case, I understand because it's technically unfair using it against other LDers who doesn't know how it's done (yet?). Just wanna know, is it okay to submit the level?

On a related note, I'm not even sure about submitting it as a portal level, in case the exploit gets abused for malicious things like erasing save files, and potentially worse. Although Jhynjhiruu already posted a proof of concept.

For the curious, my level isn't really that much, it uses signs that increase Mario's jump height once he's collected enough coins, that's pretty much the gimmick.

I didn't know that we could even put a swf into a level. Unbelievable.
(That's kind of unfair if this LDC allows swf, I think.)

I'm s Minecraft noob so don't laugh at me...

-----My profile ( It seems unnecessary )-----My level collections-----
Old sigbar: show

JPG :rarrow: update! :rarrow: GIF!
My rating standards: show
I have rated so many levels but I didn't obey any rules. Here is my own rating standard. ( New judging standards! )


I'll give each level an unoffical overview with 100 points in total.


1.Level Quality: (25/100 points): Include level diffculty, graphics and the designing of the level. If a level is so hard or laggy that I can't pass this star will immediately be lost. And if a level is so easy that I can EASILY pass it, I'll cost scores according to the circumstances.
How to judge if a level is laggy:

FPS: 26+: Good.
FPS: 20-26: Not very good, but it can be accepted.
FPS: 14-20: Bad.
FPS: 14-: Terrible, I can't stand!

Here is a tutorial that can prevent a "laggy" level:Why is a Level Laggy?
Tutorial that can make better text in LD: Coming Soon!


2.In-game playing: (45/100 points): Include level decoration, the use of tiles. And if this level is interesting, fascinating and chellenging, etc.


3.Other (30/100 points): Mistakes, bugs and warm tips. If there is any bugs that can't let me pass the level, I'll reduce a lot of points..


Final rating:
0-29 = 1 star
25-59 = 2 stars
60-74 = 3 stars
75-84 = 4 stars
85-100 = 5 stars


I'll continue updating these rules and I'll use these rules to rate levels.

Rating Standards: show
This is my Portal rating standards:
I give every level a overview with a total of 100 points.
1. Difficulty(20 points): I will take points off depending on how far has the level been beyond easy or hard. But generally, most of the levels should get full points on this.
2. Graphics(10 points): I will take points off depending on how laggy this level is. Again, generally, most of the levels should get full points on this.
detailed standards on this:
>25 fps: 10/10
20-25 fps: 6-9/10
15-20 fps:1-5/10
<15 fps:0/10
3. In-game playing(40 points): This score shows how fun, playable and unique this level is.
detailed standards on this:
30-40:excellent
20-30:good
10-20:ok
<10:poor
4. Other(30 points):I will give points on this depending on how well does the level use the tiles and items(15 points each).And all points from special rules are added here.
Overall:
0-29/100:1☆
30-49/100:2☆
50-69/100:3☆
70-89/100:4☆
>90/100:5☆

!!!Special Rules!!!
1. If I see any cutoffs-any at all, at least 10 points will be lost.
2. If level does not fit theme, 25 points will be lost.
3. If there's anything that's extraordinarily inspiring and unique, I will add extra points.
4. The harshness of my rating, that means how strict I am while rating the level depends on how long has the author been designing.
5. If there're any flaws that doesn't pertain to all rules above, I will deduct points within reason.

EDIT 1(April 11): decreased the amount of the points given for laggy and bad game playing
Previous Quotes(chronological order): show
Why, Impossible......

My level judgement is very harsh.

A level, just like a person, is Never perfect.

Every time you have more of an item, that item becomes less valuable.

You can make it Mario! And hope you can finish your homework mountain rapidly. I usually have very a little homework.
I'm not telling that it just took me 2 days to finish my entry for this LDC.

Can confirm. Every time I entered a contest it looked hopeless for me. Don't worry about what other people are doing, and just do the best you can.
