BASKET · CHALLENGE OF 2026-10-05

HOW THE DAY WENT

Monday, October 5 brought BASKET, at level 5, and 7 people played.

FERXO17 won with 33 points; POLINOMIOS finished 8 behind. ELI rounds out the podium with 23.

Among the top 7, the average was 22 points.

THE SCREEN

It used map 1 of the 3 that BASKET has. It was played at level 5, with the same seed for everyone: the same enemies and the same pieces in the same order.

THE MUSIC

The Entertainer, Scott Joplin, 1902.

A piano rag that was suddenly everywhere again in 1973, thanks to the film 'The Sting'.

It is in the public domain, transcribed to chiptune with square and triangle waves, the way it would sound on an Atari 2600.

ABOUT TODAY'S GAME

Side view with a clock: you move, jump and release the shot. Releasing at the top of the jump is the perfect shot; releasing low, or with the defender on you, is a block or a miss.

Two points from close and three from far, and the day's map sets the court and the seconds.

· It is the only challenge here where the score is small and every make counts enormously: first and tenth place are usually three or four baskets apart.
