Where i can find an infinite lives patch?
What do you mean a "life farm" ?

With hex edits, of course! Here is an easy way to get infinite lives (or at least, without decrementing the lives count).

That simply means you can quickly and easily get 1ups. An easy way is to have a level full of 3up moons, placed with Direct Map16 objects or an easy way to get the 1up chain from jumping on top of enemies (e.g. you place a shell in a single tile gap filled with water and the place can jump into the shell repeatedly to get 1ups).
Very possibly I will participate here, I have great ideas... By the way can I use patches, blocks and custom sprites? I know it's a silly question, but I want to get rid of the doubt that if there is something I can't use...
Yes, all of those are allowed for this contest.
Oh ok thanks! I've never participated in something like this, I'm excited! I hope I can get a good job

Do you mean puns around the author's username, because he needs to reamin anonymous, or do you indeed mean any username? Seems a bit harsh punishment for a joke.

Well it's not like I was going to involve my felllow users in my entry, but this statement made me curious in how it is phrased.

It's a joke :V

Darn it! It's not the first time it happens to me... What's up with my ability to understand humour. Sorry.
Okay, so after reading the rules, we cannot have our names visible in the level, but are credits (in-game level or via .txt file) okay to use your site username?
Works in progress (No proper forum... yet)
No, your entry has to be fully anonymized.
This is gonna be good.

Wow, the prizes for this contest really are high-stakes! I didn't expect them to be on the same level as the previous WLDC, but it's a nice touch upon bringing it back after so long.

With my recent catalogue of snowy and icy levels, I thought I would've been too burned out to make something new, though my brain seems to say otherwise. There technically are many, many ways to go about the winter theme when building levels. Good luck to the participants and judges, as per usual! I see that JupiHornet has risen up the ranks to be a judge as well, so congrats to you!
What is a Lunar Magic, and can I eat it?
Super excited for this, I love winter/ice levels. Imma try to do something cool.

#thp{=0} (Pun totally intended)
I definitely do not have the free time to participate in this contest, but as it turns out I'm still going to participate.

I'm curious to see if adult/college-educated me can do better in a contest than my high-school self ever could (17th place is good relatively, right?)!
Oh, it is so on.
Are we allowed to use sub-levels and bosses?
Also, for infinite lives patch, it is said that it changes these values [80 03 EA] to [EA EA EA], and here's the code that I created, but I didn't apply it to the rom yet:
Code
org $00D0D8
        db $EA

Is it correct? or do I still need to add something?
Gotta aim fast.
