Starting Saturday, February 28th at 18:00 UTC! For the next 4 weeks, Hard Chip is hosting the next gauntlet entirely designed by the community, namely Open Community Gauntlet v1, crafted by one of the top HC players. This challenge is an open invitation to play around with some neat logic elements. Whether you’re a seasoned optimizer or just curious, this journey is built to be explored step by step. 🧠⚙️
📈 This is an Incremental Gauntlet: each week builds directly on the previous one, meaning your early decisions matter a lot. Each week’s best solution will be revealed at the start of the next week 🥇 (use it, study it… or beat it). Speed is king here with Ticks weighted at 40%, but balance still matters ⚖️! The remaining 60% can make or break your score. Miss a week, and you risk losing up to 10 points, so consistency counts! 📅 The event ranking is based on your position on the leaderboard during each week, with the top player winning 10 points, and the last earning 0 points.
🏆 The top player at the end of the gauntlet will earn the Editor Garnet Theme.
Week 1 kicks off with an And Not Multi-Gate: simple on paper, but with lots of optimization opportunities!
