Chapter 476 Level Design

Andrew was busy with a lot of work related to the Triwizard Tournament - whether it was writing letters or compiling reports for the Ministry of Magic, there were a lot of scattered documents.

But he never thought that he would be so close to the game.

Asking him to design levels - that's outrageous!
But no matter how outrageous it is, it is still a task assigned by Professor McGonagall, and it must meet the requirements and be created using the principle of the transforming chessboard.

"That's too much, Professor. The Transfiguration board is a manifestation of the rules. This is not just a test for students, but also an assignment for me..."

"But there's no rush. We can get it done once the competition starts. The most important thing now is to get the general plan done and make it more creative..."

After signing the confidentiality agreement, he roughly figured out how the levels for the Triwizard Tournament were created - two professors from each school would design the levels and submit them after signing the agreement.

These levels are then selected by the Tournament Committee, which is staff sent by the Ministry of Magic where the host school is located, mixed with the levels made by the Ministry of Magic itself, and finalized to pave the way for the competition before the warriors take part.

"They really took great pains to let the Warriors show their skills... Yes, although the Warriors cannot represent everything, if it is held every four years, it can still reflect the teaching quality of the school, and it can also let the school roughly understand which courses in the school need to be adjusted..."

"Okay... I'll make a hodgepodge..."

"How do we make a hodgepodge? We need to test the versatility of the characters and show the warriors' fighting power. We also need to follow the rules of the transformation chessboard."

'so?'

He began to write.

"The so-called Transfiguration Chessboard is the professor's best spell. Within the rules of the chessboard, spells that are not strong enough will be invalid, and the rules of the chessboard have become the recognized rules of wizard chess... Well, in fact, it is just a restriction of the rules. It's just that the rules of wizard chess are recognized by more people because they borrow the rules of Muggle chess..."

"As an imitation, I also restricted the magic of the dead wizard in the rules, but since it is my own creation, I guess it can only limit the weak ones - maybe there will be a warrior who can break through... Forget it, let them duel seriously if they break through..."

'First, design a combination of herbs and potions - well, you can't attack at the beginning, and then select herbs from a pile of weeds to make a potion. After the potion formula is formed, you can release a spell with a similar effect...'

"It looks pretty decent... We have three tests at once. We can't include astronomy or something like that, right?"

'Not impossible. Let's try some History of Magic quizzes, um, mixed with astronomy. First answer the questions to accumulate selection times or something, then play... Very good, stitched in. '

'I'll sew some more luck games, um, a one-time armor spell or a bubble head spell, and get a chance... I'll sew a bunch of stuff, so that's it.'

Andrew probably muddled through writing this thing and was ready to submit it.

To be honest, it seems to be the case.

"I vaguely remember that the official competition was about playing with dragons. I don't dare to play so big. Anyway, it's good as long as it looks safe and meets the competition requirements. It will be a success if it doesn't go wrong."

He took one last very calm look at it, then packed up the things and prepared to submit them - apart from some traps and punishments added for fun, there was nothing dangerous about it.

He walked quickly across the corridor and went straight to Professor McGonagall's office and handed in the things.

The professor looked at him in surprise, then shook her head and began to review it - she had also signed the agreement, so she could take a look at it.

'Same speed as always...'

Professor McGonagall's eyes flicked over the design.

"Off-site help?"

"Yes, professor, since this is an intramural competition, we have prepared an opportunity for each warrior to seek help off the field, which will make them look more united." "What about this quick question?"

"It's a formal course after all, so it has to be related to the subject - knowledge is the greatest wealth."

Such a typical Ravenclaw answer made Professor McGonagall smile and shake her head.

She didn't ask any more questions, but just looked at them all.

But the more I look at it, the more outrageous it seems - it's a bit of everything, but somehow it can be blended together without much conflict.

She tried to change it, but found that even the biggest weakness was gone.

The entire level does not incorporate divination, it relies on luck at most, and all these rules are carried out under the suppression of the rules of the deformed chessboard.

"That's it, it's good."

The professor finally nodded and said, "Go ahead and submit it. Also, now that you have designed it, you must go all out to design the rules from today on, and try to complete them all before the start of the school term. I hope that if this level is retained by then, you can set it up yourself."

"Yes, Professor, I will do my best."

Andrew agreed - although he left some room for revision, the manuscript was approved at one time, so he didn't intend to tell others and cause trouble for himself.

"Very good, go and have a rest. Starting tomorrow, the empty classroom on the left side of the fourth floor will be set up as a Transfiguration chessboard. Go and experience it yourself, and try to be able to crack it with Transfiguration during the summer vacation."

"Yes, Professor!"

"Also, please be on duty. The issue of warrior selection is still under discussion. You should also come and be on duty for an hour this afternoon."

"Yes, I will, Professor."

"That's it, go down," Professor McGonagall handed the design to Andrew, asked him to submit it to the Ministry of Magic, and then bent down to continue working.

-

"That's it... But it's true. After all, lucky break events are still relatively new in the magic world... Let's not really participate in such a competition..."

Andrew shook his head and ultimately did not change anything, submitting it directly to the Ministry of Magic via owl.

If you have it, then you have it—it’s not shameful.

Not to mention showing it to Professor McGonagall, it would be fine even if it was shown to the Dean - knowledge is power, and what's wrong with the question and answer section appearing in the Triwizard Tournament?
"Anyway, there are a lot of places that can be modified. If they really use it, it won't be so useless."

"That's it. Let's start learning the Transfiguration Chessboard."

This is the most complicated thing by far - the Transfiguration board is a whole, not individual rules.

This means that he has to learn to integrate the rules he has mastered or even woven together, and then demonstrate them - even for him, this is not an easy thing to master.

"This is really Professor McGonagall's best trick... But I still have a long way to go in developing my Transfiguration skills... Let's wait and see, I hope I can figure it out on my own tomorrow..."

He shook his head, submitted the level he designed, and then no longer cared about the level design issue.
