Zynoa's Engineering Application

Hey I'm Zynoa123

The project is called RedStone Egg.
I worked on this for five hours give or take to make this. Inside it has eight riddles that allow you to hit the buttons in the right sequence. When a player is done, gives up, or a new player arrives, the hole thing resets so that is can be used over and over again with no limits. There is one order and no other order will activate the floor door. The cetch is you will not know if you got all eight of the answers right until you hit all eight, if you get it right a door will open, then close after 5 or 6 seconds, if you got it wrong every thing will reset and you are back to square one.

Locating: Creative, warp: Redstone_egg, concordats: X: -2387, Y: 48, Z: -73

Wow! Two Engineer applications.... There must be something in the water this week.

Uniqueness
Ambition
Execution
Scale

Uniqueness - This build is a mixture between a very large combination lock and riddles. Now, I have seen many combination locks over the last few years so unfortunately this just isn't a very unique build. However I will bump it up a few marks as something as specific as this has not really been built on the server before. I have only seen one other example of something like this but to my knowledge it was never completed.
Result - 6
Ambition - I can really see where you were going with this build, it really has the potential to grow into something really unique. Not many people have built a redstone puzzle before.
Result - 6
Execution - The combination lock is built more or less perfectly, it is fool proof. I tried breaking it but was unable to do so. As this is an Engineer application the building is being disregarded.
Result - 9
Scale - If anything is going to pull your marks down it will be scale. The physical redstone you have used is great, it just isn't very large and I can't give a high mark to something that is small.
Result - 5

5 + 6 + 6 + 9 = 26/30

This is very close to Engineer, I have said this previously on the last application, the whole point of Engineer is to create something unique, without this unique feature you will never achieve this rank. Also something you build in 5 hours probably will not get the rank. When I joined the server it took me 2 days to build my application. Take your time and make sure you put a lot of enthusiasm in your build or else it will come out dull and you will become bored very quickly.

Hmm some good notes there, on tye size i shrunk it down alot and made it more compact. I cam make it do more things but as for what it does it was a head ake fiting it all together. So i can add more things if you want .
