Oh, another thing, why are you (DODODO) hosting the contest if mockingod is making all the rules?  Shouldn't HE be the host?

Yeah, I stuck that in my bio a while ago. 
Edit: It's time for my regular userbar switch, so I decided to throw it in my footer as well.

I propose a "judging rule", if you can really call it that. I think we should give bonus points if the hack has no custom things that affect gameplay. (which means that custom music and ExGFX are okay) It is much harder to make an automatic level with no custom blocks/sprites than with them.

Nah, you only get bonus points.
Oh, and this might be a good time to explain.
a normal point for everything is 1.
A bonus point is an extra point. So the person who gets the most points wins!
Like this:
Music synch: +1 (bonus)
overworld custom sprite to enter level autoly: +1 bonus
and etc.
I have to edit my post and edit something. D:

Oh yeah, I forgot, also I'm going to make it so at the very start of the game it's auto so you don't even need to choose a save file. Does that get a bonus point?

I was thinking that wasn't possible O.o, but yeah! That gives you 4 bonus points, gotta add that to the thing.
Oh, wait, I already pointed that out, but I edited the post to make it 4 points. Thanks for making me remember! :P
heh

Who says it has to be first post.
Welcome to the automatic mario level conest!
PM DODODO if you wanna be a judge.
Hack submission begins NOW.
Deadline is May 10th 2010 12:00 EST.
List of Judges:
mockingod
2technogeeks
GoldenSonic15
List of Participants:
OGS93
mariofan1000
Fakescaper
HuFlungDu
You will be judged on a point system. (xx/xx points)
Details:
You only have to make one level, but you get a nice amount of bonus points if you make it a whole hack (4 levels at least).
To submit your level, upload it to your file bin or somewhere, then provide a link by posting here.
Also please post to tell us if you want to join (even if you haven't even started the level yet.)
You may use any resources you want.
Bonus Point Possibilities:
Music Sync. - this can be sync with either a custom port inserted into smw or even an MP3 of a song if you wish, but you must provide the mp3 or whatever for it to count if you do something like that. (If it's sync'd to an inserted song then you don't need to provide it but it should play ingame obviously.)
The auto actually working
Editing the overworld
using common sense
Not using slippery floors
Having a level with two exits
Extra bonus points will be awarded for the more exits in the hack
Point Loss Possibilities:
Cutoff
The auto not being "fun" (Aka it could be long at repetitive, flat, or something similar to that. It's up to whoever's judging it really.)
Disqualification Opportunities:
Having the player press any buttons during a level. This includes having them press a button to get rid of a message box or to slide on a slope.
However it's ok if you force them to press buttons on the title screen and overworld etc.
Exceptions:
If you ABSOLUTELY have to have a message box and/or it's funny enough, you may only have at most 2 message blocks that play messages out your four levels.
This means if level one has a message, that counts as the first one, and then if level two has one that's your last, any more is disqualification.
Notice that we said message BLOCKS. If you use an automessage, and this includes yoshi message, you're disqualified. You might want to use a patch or something to disable it for yoshi or at least plan around it.
HINT: Yoshi's message will never play on the Main Map! It does on the Sub Maps though. (Aka were the level you entered is.)
Other:
Having no custom things that effect gameplay (Hint: Custom music and Exgfx do not effect gameplay, nor does making your own map16 stuff. However custom blocks and custom sprites do affect gameplay. Normal SMW sprites don't. Additional ASM does.)
Exception: It is ok to effect gameplay on the overworld and you might even be awarded (about 3) bonus points if you can effect gameplay that way.
Same thing for any other time during the game that is not in a level. You could be awarded EXTREME bonus points (ok it's just 4).

I personally don't think a participant (I think you are) should be a judge.
Also you CAN have custom blocks, but it's a plus if you manage without them.
Contest: Who wants to make a whole autoplay hack?
No one! Change the title!

Curse you for stealing my idea Fakescaper! I was totally going to make a fully automatic level. Hmm... Now to just make it stand out in another way I suppose, I'm sure I'll think of something. Or I may just not enter. We'll see I suppose. I may just make each level with a single generator, that could be interesting I guess...

This is an auto contest lol.
Actually, I'm making a fully automatic ROM. You just open the game in Zsnes and watch. It will automatically go through the intro for you, go though the welcome message, move through the overworld, and enter levels, and even play through them in a way you wouldn't even think of hehehe. I'm not sure how it'll go but also after beating a level you go onto the next one.
Lastly I'm going to try and make it so after you automatically play through the levels, you can try them yourself. (You will be physically unable to move Mario in the first run.)
