THE @starpsychic ➤ what they freaking ENTERED?!????? Bro I’m freaking OUT . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁} What is This? { A regular contest is a competition in which participants compete for prizes using a primary medium, typically art or code. This contest only accepts entries related to code, as it is a CODING contest, and I will only accept coded animation memes for this event. . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁} Rules + Requirements { ➤ MUST use the template cat provided. Do not trace over, redraw, or replace the art. The only way the cat should be edited is redrawn for CUTSCENES in your entry or recolored to show a different character. ➤ Common sense, but don't claim the art as yours. ➤ The main movement should use tweening and not frame-by-frame. Frame-by-frame should be used exclusively for cutscenes. ➤ Remix so I can keep track of entries. ➤ All parts of the template cat marked with . ݁₊ ⊹ are optional. Otherwise, it's required. Of course, it would be preferred for you to stick the parts that you DON'T tween with the object they would otherwise go with (eg. cheek fluff with head, and just so the cat looks the same) but that's optional. ➤ Comment 'crane' if you read this :] (opt but +1 pt) ➤ This IS a point-based coding contest. ➤ Delete my watermark and credit me for the thumbnail code when you remix! ➤ Your entry should be at least 75% your code. ➤ The due date for all entries is 40 remixes or on June 26th, 2026. I will accept entries for THREE DAYS after the due date but no later. ➤ And last but not least, proper credit is absolutely required. If I catch you stealing, you will be immediately disqualified and will not be able to enter this event until it is closed. . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁} Winning + Prizes { To win, you must have the most points out of all the other entries. There will be prizes for the top three as well as runner-up prizes for places four and five. Prizes are as follows: ➤ 1st: Follow from both of my alts, fullbody drawing of your OC, remix of your entry with an OC of mine, collab if you'd like it! ➤ 2nd: Follow from both of my alts, fullbody drawing of your OC, remix of your entry with an OC of mine ➤ 3rd: Follow from both of my alts, fullbody drawing of your OC and an icon drawing for you ➤ 4th and 5th (runners up): Follow from both of my alts and icon drawing for you . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁} Ways to Win { You can try to earn points as follows: ➤ 10 points for having all the REQUIRED parts ➤ 10 points for using all the parts ➤ 15 points for using a fullbody in your meme ➤ 5 points for smoothness ➤ 10 points for >3 different types of bops ➤ 5 points for smooth/creative transitions ➤ 10 points for having >4 different background effects (that look good ofc) ➤ 15 points for having >8 different background effects (that look good duh) ➤ 10 points if ALL code is by you (eg. no effects from others, inspo is fine!) ➤ 0-50 points for an overall range of my liking ➤ 15 points for using a song I like (marked and in the project) ➤ 15 points if it's an original meme (you can find the full version of a song I like and use a different section of it, if you're trying for the above criteria too!
