I don't think they have taken the game type out. There is documents for 2019 for game type on https://www.soinc.org/game-b. I do not see a document for game theme though, but it is mentioned in the scoring rubric explained document there. Does anyone know if they got rid of theme or are they doing both a type and theme again?terence.tan wrote:the game types makes the event more complex so they will probably put it back in next yearKai0721 wrote:Does any one know why they took out the game type.(maze, collector etc.)?

Re: Game On B
As the rubric states "Game related to theme and type (Y/N)" I would assume that game types are still going to be used this year. It is strange how it is not mentioned in the rules, though. However, the rules do say that the scoring will be based on the rubric.glenk wrote:I don't think they have taken the game type out.

Re: Game On B
If you spend a ton of time on it, it'll seem really easy. If you never touch it, it'll seem really hard. The key is lots of practice! (This applies for all events.)Incineroar999 wrote:Is Game On Hard?
I would not say Game On has any particularly hard spots though.

Most importantly, practice all of the game types on every theme you can think of.UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F wrote:If you spend a ton of time on it, it'll seem really easy.

Even better, know exactly what you code for each game type, then just adapt it to the theme.
This is my experience from last year when this event was C.

Re: Game On B
They actually got rid of game types for B division. It's just themes now. Which makes it really easy to just go through a set script, but you do you, soinc; you do you.Jacobi wrote:Most importantly, practice all of the game types on every theme you can think of.UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F wrote:If you spend a ton of time on it, it'll seem really easy.

It looks like types are back. The NSO Game On Page has a document call 2019 Game On Type Explanation.

Re: Game On B
Unfortunately, I think 5.a. implicitly included game type by saying that the scoring will follow the online rubric which includes game type.

A more interesting question which might start a flame war is "Why was this an event in the first place?"
This is so sad, can we please make source code an event
