Canyon Racing

[genveir]

Hello everyone!

I set up a track on the Mun. There's a starting platform, 11 waypoints and a finish platform.

I've tried flying it a couple of times, and it's doable.. but I hope for some healthy competition!

What to do:

Load up this savegame. Pick the Munar Racer from the tracking center. You start on the starting platform. Fly within 1km of each waypoint in turn, then land as near the finish platform as you can manage.

Scoring:

The basis for your score is the time it took you to get from the starting platform to the finish. Each second is a point.

One point is added for each meter (rounding up) distance between you and the finish platform at the end.

If you land ON the platform you get a 20 point bonus (considering that lower scores are better, that's a 20 point subtraction!).

Verification:

Either make a video (I did), or take screenshots at launch, each waypoint (pushing F1 should be doable, right?) and your ship landed near the finish.

Here's my entry / demo:

I started at 07:49:29, landed at 07:54:02. Distance to the platform was 8m.

So my score is 273 (seconds) + 8 for distance. Total score: 281

High scores:

You do realise that with your scoring system, the longer you take, the higher your score will be? Maybe you should amend it so that you start with 1000 points, and you deduct 1 point for each second it takes you. That way a longer time will result in a lower score.

I do realize that, but I don't think it's a problem. You simply end up with a system where lower scores are better.

Obviously I took it into account, since further from the platform gives you more points.

Just like golf! I will maybe to try this later on.

Then landing on it should give a 20 point deduction, instead of additional points? Might want to clarify that, rather than "point bonus".

I'll dl and give this a go, sounds fun.

Done! Hope you'll have fun
