"Squares" was so much better and far more clever.

Uh. Off-Topic.

I don't see how squares was clever, but "Tri-Coin" is not really a good name.

Squares are a better name, because it's at least unique. I feel like they should either stick with that or come up with something actually somewhat creative (i.e. not "tri-coins"), like.... Deltoins or something. But that makes it sound like the currency is human flesh, so probably something else.

Squares was good. Tri-Coin doesn't really sound that great.

Also we can't call them Deltoins. Delta is a magical force thingy that most likely has nothing to do with the currency. :P

Terrible suggestion incoming: Troins
An even worse, additional suggestion: Triques



I bet everybody will find each of them to be terrible and lowly creative, but I can't seem to think of anything better than "Squares." Either way, I kind of like "Tri-coins" better. That's kinda what they look like, and I do think it would make more sense to call them that. (Creative or not, why should a triangle be called a "square?")

I like to called them Squares rather then call them tri-coins. Tri-coins are kinda odd for me.

I think in our "universe" we will call them triangle but things can be different in the "universe" in the game since they're different from us.

Because they clearly look like triangles, and not everybody will realize that "because they are located in a different universe," we now have to call them "squares."

EDIT: Should say that I'm not trying to push it, but I'd like to get my point across.

lmao this thread

mathematicians have this wonderful ability of distinguishing between different contexts

why shouldn't a triangly-shaped thing be called "square" for exception

square := triangle, it's all a thing of definition

and outside the LL context you can go like square := square if you like it

Thank you, FF.

Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.
