I was thinking about all the level design contests we've had, and I wanted to see if we could fill out the rest of the alphabet with some basic contest ideas. From the list below: green = done, yellow = potential idea, red = no idea
A - Automatic
B - BaseROM (Bad has been done elsewhere I believe)
C - Chocolate
D - Dynamic [resources]
E - Exchange (swap entries with someone else)
F - Frustrating; Fast (100-second levels); Funny (same as joke)
G - Grassland
H - Halloween or Holiday
I - International
J - Joke (afaik not done here before, maybe done elsewhere)
K - Kaizo
L - Little (similar to Fast/Quick, or could be "Small Mario" related)
M - Musical (level based on song)(done before unofficially); Max-Screen (use every screen in a level) or Mini-Hack (aka one-level hack)
N - Newbie (beginners only); No testing
O - Old-School (thats my contest right now!)
P - Painful, Pit
Q - Questionable
R - Reverse (scores first, levels second), Right-to-Left, or Rearrangement (only edit by rearranging objects/sprites)
S - Special, Strawberry or Summer
T - Tubular (as in the level)
U - Underwater
V - Vanilla
W - Winter
X - Xyloid (aka forest/wood) or X-over (crossover with other media)
Y - Yoshi (not to be confused with YILDC, which we have done, but that's double letters so I'm considering this slot open)
Z - Zany
(feel free to suggest more ideas for yellow letters!)
