ABOUT:The contest will be a series of rounds.
Each round, all entrants are given a scripting task and an opponent.
All entrants have a time limit of 2 days to complete the task.
Failure to complete means the opponent wins.
If both the entrant and the opponent fail to complete in time, then neither wins.
After the 2 day time limit ends,
the entrant's and his opponent's finished script is judged by the panel.
The judges choose their favourite of the two scripts and that entrant is the winner.
For every win an entrant gets, they get a point.
The entrant with the most points at the end is the winner of the contest.If there is a tie at the end, there will be a sudden death round (involving eval on a server, more info if it happens).
Make sure you follow all the guidelines for each task, not doing so will get you bad reception from the judges.
Feel free to add your own little features to your scripts for each task, it will definitely interest the judges final decisions.
RULES:1. You are allowed to ask in coding help, but you lose 0.5 points per round that you receive help.
2. If you're discovered to be using any pre-made scripts, you will be eliminated.
3. You are not allowed to work together with others, except of course if it's in coding help.
Breaking rules will result in points being abducted from your score, or elimination.
PARTICIPANTS:Anyone can participate, even if you're new to scripting.
Competition is a great way to learn things.

Round 3 - starts 31/05/11 GMT+10 ends 05/06/11 GMT+10 (5 days)
You must create a mod that allows you to phone/call other users. This is targeted at a roleplay audience.
Your script must follow these guidelines:
- When a user enters the game, they are assigned a phone number (as many digits as you want, just remember people would use this on signs, notifications, etc. so nothing ridiculous)
- /call *number* - this slash command will call a phone number, if the recipient is offline the caller should only be allowed to leave one message and then immediately hung up. If the recipient is online, obviously you begin chatting.
- DO NOT make a slash command to chat on the phone. Make any general chat (pressing T) from the caller or recipient automatically send until someone hangs up
- /answer - answers phone calls
- /hangup - hangs up any phone calls
- /messages - check any messages and read them
- Notify the user what is going on when they are calling/receiving etc.
Extra bonuses (least important + optional):
- A way to have automatic answering machines (they can annoy people on Blockland too!) (events?)
- Deleting messages
- /call could accept multiple number arguments so you can call multiple people and set up a chat channelRed_Guy vs Treynolds416

Round 4 - You have 7 days to complete it from 25/06/11 GMT+10
You must create an output event that fires a projectile at a position or named brick. (ie. spawnProjectileAt)
Your script must follow these guidelines:
- Functions exactly like spawnProjectile on the brick only it will fire at a position or a named brick rather than a starting velocity.
- The first argument should be the datablock type.
- The second argument should be a text box to enter the name of a brick to fire the projectile at. If it is blank it fires it at the position mentioned in the next argument instead.
- The third argument is a vector saying the position to fire at. Its only used if the named brick argument is blank.
- The fourth argument is a vector to offset the velocity by.
Pretty easy to complete, I thought I'd make it easier than the other tasks considering the lack of final submissions.Honorable vs Red_Guy (no winners)
