[COMPETITION]

1. By "No internet access will be provided." you mean no HTTP API access right?
2. AFAIK There are no chunkloaders that work with 1.3 (CC 1.42) yet.
3. It would be good if we would get an example map or at least a picture of the starting area.
4. In case of an unintended interruption (for example server crashing), will turtle start from beginning?
Otherwise I love the idea. Even without the competition thing, it is still awesome challenge to do. I will try this for sure.

Yes, I mean the HTTP API will be disabled.

Still looking in to chunkloader options. If necessary will port one and test it.

I've set up a sample environment and am working on some pictures - will let you know. I'll see if it's easy to share the map also.

If Minecraft crashes, the run will be re-started.

I won't throw you a curve ball here - will be pretty close. The top wood block of the starting tree will be level with or above the bottom of the nearest tree, and vice versa. Not guaranteeing that searching at any one height will find it though.

Site 1 - tree, turtle and chunkloader:
Notice that sand and water are within 16 spaces. This is the edge of a forest (seems water & sand most often found there).
Closer view of turtle:
Loader will be where this iron block is:
Site 2 is similar:
EDIT: Site 3 tree was too short. Not valid placement. Replacing site.

World can be downloaded at:
http://www.goddard.n...%20Challenge.7z (4.7MB)
Unzip with 7zip in the saves directory. Environment includes:
* Minecraft 1.3.2
* Forge 4.1.1
* Computercraft 1.42
* Rei's minimap (for navigation)
The .points file in the 7z archive needs to be moved under mods/rei_minimap/ to get the sites as waypoints.

1) Is the starting position going to have a set y value or will it be variable?
2) How do you plan on ensuring that all the needed resources will be found within the 16 x 16 chunk? Doing the math, in a perfect world that area will only provide us with 4 or 5 diamonds, which prevents us from making 2 crafty-mining turtles..much less any other turtles to complete bonus objectives. If expansion is the answer then it should be an inherit objective not a bonus one. />

Don't you have a 32x32 area to work with? So that would be 16 to 20 diamonds...

So to be safe, you will have to assume that maximum range is 16x16.

re: this, I'd suggest a revision to the rules: The judge player logging in to check on their torches, should log out only immediately after witnessing the turtle replace the broken torch. This ought to ensure the turtle is not caught with it's pants down, moving into a chunk that unloads when the judge leaves. Then we could identify the edges of the full 3x3 chunk area and exploit it all effectively.

And I still haven't seen any confirmation in this thread that turtle.forward()/turtle.back() indeed returns false when it tries to move outside a chunk. I'd have to check this to be sure.

Hi GopherAtl,
I can't guarantee that any chunk will _not_ be loaded and later unloaded except the 3x3 block with the chunkloader in the centre one. Please don't rely on any loaded chunk staying loaded unless in that area - I'd rather not see people's submissions failing due to chunk mechanics. You have a safe area of 33x33 (16 blocks to each side plus the centre line). If resources are missing from there, your program may have to accept a degree of risk by moving outside, but this should be managed carefully.
Sorry all about the chunk loader delay. Looks like at least RailCraft has them working in 1.3.2 again - will confirm.
Cheers,
Tim

I'd rather avoid this, but can manage it. SHA1 only please (no MD5s), and the final file should be attached within 24 hours of the deadline.

No guarantees here except that it will be at the base of a naturally spawned oak tree. I'm not going to plant one on a single block of dirt in layer 1 />

There will be three sites and the world will be the same for everyone. If one is missing resources within the guaranteed safety area, it'll be the same for everyone. If, extraordinarily, multiple sites are missing resources then I'll re-start the judging for everyone.
I should clarify with submissions being run at three sites:
* If any site completes the base goal your submission is eligible for the prize.
* Extra goals can only be met at a site which has met the base goal.
* Credit will be given for the second site to meet a goal - shows consistency.
* If two sites succeed, no additional credit will be given for a third doing so - feel free to have one dud.
