These details are open for further discussion and may change here and there so you may want to check back every so often.
Registration
Where: Contest Area
When: All day, every day while the Contest Area is open
Prize: First 100 registrants will "win" a sweet DC20 Schemaverse button
There will be no deadline for entering the competition but realistically speaking you should be signed up by Friday morning if you are playing to win.
Pre-tournament Round
Starts: Thursday at Noon
Ends: Friday at 11:30AM
Prize: Bragging Rights?
You will want to use this round to get all your scripts loaded and configured for the tournament. This way it is all ready to go when the real round starts up.
Actual Tournament
Starts: Friday at Noon
Ends: Sunday 11:00AM
Prizes:
Schema Supremacy: DC20 Schemaverse Championship hoodie
Get the highest final score and you can win an awesome looking hoodie :D
Best Hack: Navicat for PostgreSQL (Awesome database management software which Navicat has graciously supplied us a license of)
This one is completely judged by me. Keep in mind, if I don't know about your hack then you can't win the prize! I will keep the details to myself so any advantage is kept but you need to come gloat to me about it.
Game Settings
As anybody who has played the game tends to know, some of the settings change pretty frequently while we try to balance it out. For the tournament, I will likely keep the settings as they currently are in the public database. These settings are as follows:
Map Size=~3000 Planets
MAX_SHIP_SKILL=500
MAX_SHIP_HEALTH=1000
MAX_SHIP_RANGE=5000
MAX_SHIP_FUEL=200000
MAX_SHIP_SPEED=800000
MAX_SHIPS=2000
EXPLODED=3
If you don't know what these settings are, you can do a select * from public_variable; to see an explanation of each (or run over to the tutorial: https://schemaverse.com/tutorial/tutorial.php ).
Our Contest Booth
Last year our Contest Area booth ended up being a great place to sit around and hack at the game and I am definitely looking forward to this happening again. I have requested a couple more chairs and maybe even an extra table but this may depend on space available in the contest area.
Regardless though, please feel free to come by to learn more about the game, submit bugs, social engineer some strategy or just drink a beer with us.
Of course, we will also have the visualizer up showing off the the leader board, the Schemaverse overall map and close-ups of battles taking place. So far this thing looks awesome :D
