Very good at what it does. Essentially is a logic-formatted version of what I used on my stopwatch reset function, so I felt that it wasn’t completely unique. It is the most simple form in this style, but I believe a mathematical version instead of logic would make it simpler. Description is flawless; I couldn’t have done it better.

Again, very good at what it does. It isn’t the most simple of expressions, but it works perfectly. While it is indeed impractical to generalize this, I’m going to play devil’s advocate and take half a point for a lack of one. Sorry spefy! Though, again- description/logic behind creation is flawless.

This one is really quite simple and very applicable to all sorts of spacecraft-like builds. It works very well, is very simple to implement. I cannot find any flaws in the documentation either.

Incredibly simple, works very well, and has a variety of applications already demonstrated the presence of a successful successor. The description could be formatted a bit better however, as to provide more apt detail on the logic behind creation and tuning.

Overall an interesting and very unique system. It does what it needs to do in the realm of graphical effects, but is limited to this functionality. The system works well in tandem, but I failed to see the fuel drop system as a significant contribution to the workings of the entire system. The description is apt at explanation, but could be formatted better.

Works excellently. Clear purpose, and an array of possible applications elsewhere. It lacks a bit of elegant simplicity, but it does do what it needs. However, the formula is not exactly generalizable or applicable to every single VTOL plane; points were lost there. The description can be tidied up a bit and detail more logic behind the creation of the code, but is generally well done.

Excellent work. I particularly liked this entry because of the use of inverselerp; practically nobody has found a way to use it effectively (in most scenarios). A very novel & intriguing entry. The code does what exactly is promised, and is simple (while fulfilling all realistic requirements for the objective). The description can be formatted for readability however, and while a general form was discussed an explicit formula would be more desirable.

Well done, ornithopters are pretty cool. Nice use of sinusoids and a phase shift to create opposite movement for stability. The formula is non-generalizable however, and the description is not apt at describing the logic for the use of the particular expressions. Extremely novel entry however. Great use of graphs to demonstrate output curves.

Fits the objective of the challenge very well. Provided one of the best general form-expressions I’ve seen, incredibly intuitive. A refreshingly original idea as well; The formula definitely could take a slightly different approach for a simpler result in some portions of the code, but overall excellently done and is exactly what I was looking for in the challenge.

An interesting approach to 7-seg displays. Low part count, definitely, but it lacks the accuracy required of data displays and could definitely take a similar, but different approach to achieve the objective better. Description was well written. The approach that UltimatePlayer123 took to making 7-segs was one of the craziest and interesting use of sine waves I’ve seen. You got extra points for that.

Very simple, but isn’t novel enough. At its core, it is more akin to an application of the and operator than it is an entirely new system. Simple, but less “funky”. Some general form discussed.

Again, very simple, but isn’t novel enough. At its core, this is also more akin to an application of the and operator than it is an entirely new system. The entire system seems to serve no purpose for working in tandem, and no general form is presented nor discussed.

First and foremost, this can be achieved in a much simpler fashion without the need for funky trees. activationGroup and zeroOnDeactivate will achieve the same purpose. Not a novel system, either; it merely applies the ternary operator rather than create a new system. Description is written in intended format. Due to the lack of novelty, no logic is discussed either.
