Unfortunately we passed the end of the world ):

A pollution-ish theme? IE. a hill completely covered in garbage, with dead trees and yellow grass around it, or mutants living on top of a vespene generator.

It would probably work out a bit better if everyone had the full week to recreate the same image, and then another image be brought up in a future WTE.

City of the dead!

Oh! What about this: Create a map using only HotS assets, units, and tilesets.

I imagine this will probably be the first one after HotS launches. But for now a lot of us are still stuck with only WoL.

I've already got some big plans for WTE's regarding HOTS, and you'll see cool stuff appear there; don't fret.

For easier navigation, how about adding a short description to each weekly excercise what it is about, e.g Deserts, Mountains, Underground, etc. E.g I am looking through all of them but the names do not always say much.

@Eimtr: Go

I'll look into this. I can't do it for every WTE or it'll clutter up the list, but I should be able to clarify some of the more unclear names.

Dark forest, really big trees prevent the sunlight from reaching down, should be a place to expect spiders and the like.

Can we have a DOODAD lottery?

@ScrinKing: Go

Hey, that's a good one! It's a tad harder to set-up, though: numbering the textures was a lot of work to begin with, can you imagine numbering every single doodad? If you've got any suggestions for making this easier I'm all ears, though I'll try and think something up myself as well - this thing sounds too cool to pass up.

@Mozared: Go

You could group doodads by theme (terran installation, protoss, jungle, space platform, wreckage, etc).

Or just pick a list of interesting (or creatively uninteresting) doodads similar to the Do That Doodad WTEs - then people randomly roll off that list. Then we all get to giggle at the one guy who ends up with Barrels as his primary doodad.

How bout you assign each letter with a number, you pick a number, and any doodad that has that letter in it, or starts with it for certain ones, then you use those. easier than numbering many a doodads.

So say I choose number 8, and number 8 is the letter c and any doodad that has the letter c in It I can use, not sure what to do with letters like a, e, I, o and u personally, but just want to get the gears turning in the head. (or even you cannot use a doodad with the letters and you could choose 2 or 3 numbers)

@Mozared: Go

I'm thinking you could roll "1-26" 2-3 times, then, in order, find the corresponding letter of the alphabet, and use any doodad(s) that show up. If no doodad, retry.

Also, here's one: Re create you worst terrain ever and/or your first terrain ever.

@ScrinKing: Go

I personally love the re creating the worst or the first terrain idea :)

In the actors data you can sort them on doodad type, I´ve selected all of structures and props and then copy pasted them into Excel, which surprisingly worked. Then renumbered them. Here is it on Google drive: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApBQzZG9Te7GdHNDVzh2b1JWczE4a2s4a011eUpnQ1E&usp=sharing

Edit: I've added cliff and ramp and enviroment aswell, which adds up to a total of 1120 doodads. Good luck with the lottery. =P
Random fact: There is a total of 8381 actors.

That would be interesting.
