Over the summer, somein30 is going on hiatus, and the Extra Round states that you can redo/fill in all the challenges from the comm. Since I already participated in all of them, I can't do any that I missed. Here's my previous post from the first time I did it: [DW|LJ] Instead, I chose to redo the ones that were the most fun, starting with Round 01: Technical Game.

jsfunction provided the script for the dice rolls, which worked perfectly, and the challenge was as fun as I remembered.

Teasers:




Here are my dice throws:

6 5 2 6 5 1 1 2 2 5 6 6 2 6 3 4 4 4 1 4



I used hard mode, meaning I used the background and side color of each field on the board, but not the stars.

The first 15 lead to the finish line (the black X's), and thus the script picked the themes for me for those. I simply appended the remaining five (the white X's) at the end like last time, jumping back from end to start, and chose the themes for those myself from the appropriate categories. I chose some that I hadn't done before, to make it as challenging and varied as possible. I am happy to report that I ended up with a completely different set of themes than I had last time:

(hover for fandom)

Duochrome	Vibrant	Varying Distance	Collage	Fake Background
Side Crop	Original Background	B/W + Color	Both Sides	Patterned
Frame	Complementary	Varying Distance	Grunge	Painty
Color Explosion	Close Crop	Geometric	Shiny	Full Body
Monochrome	Bright	Negative Space	Patterned	Focus on Top
Dark	Text	Vibrant	Far Away	High Contrast
Pastels	Stock	Silhouette	Tiny Text/Numbers	Minimalism
Matte	Unnatural	Color Explosion	Soft Lighting	Dramatic

I had two Color Explosions this time, which are really hard, but I find it funny that I finally found a use for those terrible glasses ads that Zhu Yilong did. They do work well for this purpose. :D I also made a few debatable choices for some of the themes: The purple and greenish yellow in 7 are barely "complementary". I hope that "everything but his feet" counts as "full body" for 10, and the scan of a medieval book I used for 17 counts as "stock".
