Game On C

While I agree with what technoal said (I was perturbed by how the event was run, to be fairly honest), I'm decently amazed at how the event got salvaged despite all of the mishaps.

What exactly is meant by "Science of Theme"? The rubric says "Level of scientific thought applied to theme" and I try to do this but I never score any (maybe 1) of the points in this area.

this is why you don't do inquiry events

I seem to have had a bad influence on them

I'll update this post with more info later, but I have a lot of advice for teams having graded most of the tests at MIT. Only the top four teams were not tiered as most did not understand what 'racing' means.

Honestly, I was quite confused by some of the grading... Did the ES use https://www.soinc.org/sites/default/fil ... lained.pdf to grade? As an example of something that confused my partner and me when we got our rubrics back, the linked rubric awards 1 point for having a default starting position of sprite under "sprite orientation," but we got 0 points for that part.

As for the "racing" game, I believe the confusion was in the "two-player" portion. Most competitors assumed that two-player meant player vs. player, not 2 players vs. an autonomous sprite (this is the sense that I got from our school's B team)

You're just happy because everyone else tiering meant that you got a medal even though many teams technically scored higher.

That was throwing shade haha

Anyone have ideas for how to create rotation for sprite orientation that follows velocity?

Currently, I have been able to do it with arctan but it's quite inefficient because of arctan's range

im not sure how you're doing movement, but you should use direction and move forward rather than incrementing x or y. That way you can just rotate the sprite orientation to match the direction

Tfw Game On of all events tears apart your team from the inside :p
