    ---CONTEST ENDED 17:00 UTC 09-Jul-2017. WINNER IS: FuriousWeasel---

     

    Hello, TPT members! I'm hosting a competition for y'all today. This is the Rechargeable Capacitor Contest.

     

    Rules:

    -NO Copying whatsoever, 0% tolerance for copying, the only copying allowed is spark counters, but you won't need that since I will be judging

    -The capacitor must fit inside the INSL box in the save attached at the bottom of this post.

    -Layering is allowed

    -DTEC is not allowed, detector wall is not allowed, BTRY and CONV(SPRK) are not allowed

    -The energy should be input and output in the form of electrical energy

    Number of sparks output when discharging must equal number of sparks input

    -The electrical energy should be released on demand, not constantly releasing

    -The participant with the highest points is the winner, prize is CIA's intellectual property

     

    Your total score = (Number of sparks capacitor can hold) / (Area of capacitor in px) * 100

     

    'Area' is determined by the dimensions of your capacitor, so poking holes in it won't reduce the total effective area.

     

    Post your entries on this thread.

     

    Have a good day. :)

    What's stopping someone from just having BTRY and SWCH for their capacitor

    Read the rules

     

    Scores:


    ssccsscc: (553 spark capacity) / (9612 px area) * 100 ~ 5.75

    08ohib: (98 spark capacity) / (3120 px area (determined by dimensions with PSTN fully extended)) * 100 ~ 3.141 (it's pi lol)

    zqasd: (16 spark capacity) / (903 px area) * 100 ~ 1.77

    LBPHacker: (426545 spark capacity) / (9612 px area) * 100 ~ 4437 (ouch!!!)

    FuriousWeasel: (234993 spark capacity (subtracting number of parts in empty capacitor from 235008)) / 18 px area ~ 1,305,516 (.....)

     Very good! I've added your score to my second post.

    I made a pretty rubbish entry.

    (I hope it isn't so bad that it melts your brain in falcepalm)

     Please have it so that the maximum length the PSTN can extend is limited, else the capacitor effectively extends pass the boundaries eventually. You can set the maximum PSTN extension length by changing its .tmp2

     The wifi wasn't transmitting to the wire connected to the counter because WIFI only accepts sparks from NSCN/PSCN and sends sparks on NSCN/PSCN, but I fixed that myself and then counted :P

    This breaks a rule or two I'm pretty sure, also it's lossy, but tends to favor being >90% SPRK conserved.
    I couldn't resist :3
