I finished up the judging for Contest 11 and sent the results to Tyler. A week ago I had sent him the rules to Contest 12. He hasn't gotten around to posting either one yet, so I'm posting them now on my site until Tyler can get around to posting them in the Contests section of UCC.com.

<BR>
<BR>What the tar do people want from me, anyway? Stupid rollercoaster is going to look up at me, laugh and say "You really want me to waste my energy running through this thing?"

<BR>Very imaginative requirement. Actually, I have been wanting to make something much smaller than I am used to doing.

It ought to be an interesting challenge. Remember, you get 5 extra points if you make your coaster fit in a 6x6 grid!

You DO realize that up until now, I have never even had my first CURVE within a 6x6 grid, don't you? Well, no - of course you don't know that. I've never entered the contest before.
<BR>
<BR>Usually, my coasters sprawl out so much that you can't even see the whole layout in the 2D view. This will be an interesting challenge.
