Explorers of N
[spoiler=INFORMATION]

The Premise:

[*]Each week, I will hand out both map and demo data.
[*]There will be 2 rounds per week.
[*]You will, in the first week, load the given map and demo, and from a set of instructions (which must be followed word by word), you will build a replica of the structure in which the demo was recorded.
[*]You then must pm me the map data of what you have made. You may not submit this to numa. Doing so will result in disqualification.
[*]Your efforts will then be judged and scored forthat round, and the next round will commence.
[*]I will, having reached the end of round one, release the original map that the demo was made in.
[*]You will then make a map out of this. This map must be submitted to numa, and you must pm me a link to it. As well as this, you must place the tag "explorer" on the maps. this is for ease of use on my part.
[*]Once again, your efforts and skill will be judged, and points will be hande out accordingly.

Scoring:

[*]In round one, for every tile in your entry that matches a tile in the original map, you will recieve a point. Points however, will not be allocated to blank tiles (obviously) or tiles that were given to you in the given map data.
[*]In round two, scoring will be a bit more complex. Your maps will all be rated against each other, and the top three will recieve points. First will recieve 20 points, Second will recieve 15 points, Third will recieve 10 points.

Additional Information:

[*]As stated above, each week will contain two rounds.
[*]The first round will last from wednsday to monday. (5 days)
[*]The second round will last from monday to wednesday. (2 days)
[*]The next week will commence before results for the previous week are released.

And here are your instructions:

1st: explore the inside of structure, sliding down inside walls.
2nd: jump high enough from floor of structure to touch roof with head (whilst inside). do this twice.
3rd: slide down centre feature from given starting point.
4th: using map edges, get to the roof, and pace across the roof twice, stopping every couple of seconds to examine your feet. (you have new shoes)
5th: slide down outside walls of structure, crossing roof to get to other side.
6th: using map edges and the central feature, wall jump to exterior hanging adornments, wall jumping up the to examine closely. Pass through the inside of the structure to reach the second half of the map.
7th: re-enter structure, and stand where you began.

The tileset that you make based off the demo, cannot be submitted to numa during the contest, but after the contest, i don't see why not...

no, for round one, you are only placing tiles.

In round two, you can make the rest of the map, and submit it to numa.
