Spring Vanilla Level Contest? y/n

The thing is that some people still use 1.3 and others, like me, use 1.3.0.1. From what I've seen they haven't changed any grass blocks to castle blocks, it's only a few tiles that have been changed such as the water sizable and the snow sizable.

I actually want to join this contest mainly because I haven't participate in much in the last official SMBX contests. Moreover, I like not to have custom graphics in a level as it saves space and I do not need to waste loads to my time finding or creating certain graphics to fit the atmosphere of a level well.

I don't like vanilla, chocolate is much better.

I think we should use 1.3.0.1, mainly because it's "newer", so people won't have to download an older version, and it will be less confusing.

Anyway, we should make a big hub level with all the submissions in it, like Tower of Biased. Maybe called "Tower of Unbiased" or something.

I have an idea about how to make "custom" sprites in the level without using any additional image files. I'm not sure if it will be easy to do, or if it will require moving layers, though. basically you stack up background tiles, so that only the top left corner (or another corner) shows. then put blocks around it to hide the messyness

You are aware that when we say that the levels are vanilla styled we mean that the levels doesn't have custom graphic.

This would be great, infact, I think it should have it's own "Series" instead of like another CC?
As long as it is not SMBX 1.3.0.1 since it's crashing all the time.
But I would like if custom music is allowed, as long as it's shorter than 5mins like in the winter contest.

Does the level have to end with a star, just like in the other contests?

Sure sounds interesting.

I'd probably participate.
I also saw the discussion on the past few pages about including links to custom graphics, inserting custom graphics into the LVL files, and Rosalina... and I don't quite get it. Vanilla means vanilla. No custom graphics, no custom music, and most likely no TXT files either because that's some sort of customness too. But a statement of Joey about that would be nice.

It's just one playable. For the trillionth time, you don't need them.

Heh would be interesting seeing this community trying to achieve a high score with just vanilla stuff. I know it's possible, but I couldn't manage. There's always this one block I need restyled.
