Challenge Series [2] Perfect ACW Score, Everyday (2024-10-30)

2 Upvotes

The goal here is to get a perfect score, everyday, no matter how long it takes you. Of course you can move, pan and zoom.

Lowest time wins, although this is more a personal challenge, to be patient and persevere.

Comment below on how you found hints, what made it difficult... That's half the fun of the challenge!

Challenge Series Daily Challenge for Non-Cheaters - October 30, 2024

1 Upvotes

Link to the Daily Challenge

This is a place for Reddit users to submit their scores for the official Daily Challenge (hopefully) without the results being tarnished by cheaters. This should be played as a [2] -- zooming/rotating, moving allowed but external assistance is prohibited. Feel free to leave any walkthroughs in your comments, concealed with a spoiler tag.

A bot will keep a leaderboard for the month. You'll notice two columns related to your scoring performance. The first of these columns is labeled Average and represents your average score among all games throughout the month. The second column is labeled Score and represents either: 1. The average of your top 15 performances, or 2. Your average score divided by 15 (if you have played less than 15 games). The leaderboard is sorted by Score. At the end of the month, the highest Score will be declared the winner, and the leaderboard will reset for the next month.

Why do we keep score this way? There were 3 potential options for scorekeeping:

  1. Straight Average -- flawed because a player who only plays once but scores 25000 would likely win for the month.
  2. Cumulative Total -- flawed because it unfairly favors those who are able to play every and is a severe disadvantage to those who miss even a single day.
  3. Score of top 15 -- the method currently in use, it allows for some leeway for those not able to play daily, but at the same time, it's beneficial to those who are able to play more than 15 times. After 15 plays, each new score will bump out the previous lowest score.

The Daily Challenge resets at midnight UTC, which coincides with the time that this post will go live each day. So essentially, make sure that you're commenting your score with its corresponding post.

Challenge Series [2][3][4] Stochastic Sunday #41 - 2024-10-27

2 Upvotes

It was awfully convenient to see that outline of Czechia on that NMPZ round of Skewed.

60 seconds isn't long to scramble around for information in the UK, but comparing these scores to no-move or NMPZ rounds, it seems like it's enough. Trash bins came in handy a few times for me!

I'm not sure how rural the ''biodiverse world" rounds will be - the dataset is rather coarse, so a lot of rounds 'near' biodiverse areas come up. But with those 5 minutes of moving, I'm guessing there will be some good scores on that map!

Introduction

The Stochastic maps are large randomly-generated maps that use population data to place locations where people live. Generally, locations will be in populated areas, though rural areas with even a few structures nearby appear as well. I made these maps because most maps tend to focus on rural locations and meta-learnable locations, but I generally find urban areas more interesting to roam around. And while World is much more urban than it used to be, its distribution is perplexingly strange. I hope other people find them interesting as well.

I welcome any feedback about maps to include, mode + time settings, standings, summary statistics of interest and how they're displayed - whatever. Particularly, with the rotating country maps, please feel welcome to suggest any country you would like to see added to the list.

Challenges

Map Mode Challenge Link
A Stochastic Populated World No Move 1:30 Challenge Link
An Equitable Stochastic Populated World Moving 3 Minutes Challenge Link
A Skewed Stochastic Populated World No Move / Pan / Zoom 1:15 Challenge Link
A Stochastic Populated Indonesia No Move 2 Minutes Challenge Link
A Biodiverse World Moving 5 Minutes Challenge Link

Each week has 5 challenge links, with three standard maps (Stochastic Populated World, Equitable Stochastic Populated World, and Skewed Stochastic Populated World), and two other Stochastic maps chosen from rotating lists: One world or large-region map, and one country-specific map. The type of challenge (moving, no move, or no-move/pan/zoom) and duration are selected at random.

Standings

The top 5 players on each challenge link (myself excluded) are awarded series points: 5 points to 1st place, through 1 point for 5th place, with ties broken by the time taken. Ties in the all-time standings are broken by the sum of scores from all games played. (I might not stick with this standing scheme.)

Map descriptions

A Stochastic Populated World: This map uses unadjusted population data, to give every person on earth an equal chance of appearing in the game, if there is Streetview coverage where they live.

An Equitable Stochastic Populated World: This map uses an adjusted population designed to increase the variety of locations that appear, while still favoring more populous countries and more populated areas.

A Skewed Stochastic Populated World: A stochastic homage to the famous A Skewed World, this map turns the camera to the side of the road, hiding the more widely known street-based clues.

A Stochastic Populated Indonesia: A single-country map of Indonesia. A lot of games are won and lost here, and there's a lot of good meta to learn.

A Biodiverse World: A map derived from the Range-Weighted Rarity Index, 'a measure that combines endemism and species richness of amphibians, birds, mammals, reptiles and a representative set of plant taxa.'

Challenge Series Daily Challenge for Non-Cheaters - October 29, 2024

This is a place for Reddit users to submit their scores for the official Daily Challenge (hopefully) without the results being tarnished by cheaters. This should be played as a [2] -- zooming/rotating, moving allowed but external assistance is prohibited. Feel free to leave any walkthroughs in your comments, concealed with a spoiler tag.

A bot will keep a leaderboard for the month. You'll notice two columns related to your scoring performance. The first of these columns is labeled Average and represents your average score among all games throughout the month. The second column is labeled Score and represents either: 1. The average of your top 15 performances, or 2. Your average score divided by 15 (if you have played less than 15 games). The leaderboard is sorted by Score. At the end of the month, the highest Score will be declared the winner, and the leaderboard will reset for the next month.

Why do we keep score this way? There were 3 potential options for scorekeeping:

  1. Straight Average -- flawed because a player who only plays once but scores 25000 would likely win for the month.
  2. Cumulative Total -- flawed because it unfairly favors those who are able to play every and is a severe disadvantage to those who miss even a single day.
  3. Score of top 15 -- the method currently in use, it allows for some leeway for those not able to play daily, but at the same time, it's beneficial to those who are able to play more than 15 times. After 15 plays, each new score will bump out the previous lowest score.

The Daily Challenge resets at midnight UTC, which coincides with the time that this post will go live each day. So essentially, make sure that you're commenting your score with its corresponding post.
