So is it one per event?
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

On another note, I've made a competent thing that moves but I can't access the online things that move, is it possible someone could send me some things that move so I have something to compare it to?
Make more and test yourself. If you wanna know how they fair against others, be sure to send your zooks into the tournament ;)
Fair play. When's the tournament going to be?

Yeah, three zook team with one zook for each event.

Whenever I feel like, I suppose. There's no deadline for entries but they could close at any time so be sure to get yours in while you can.

Remember, you're allowed to enter more than one team. I already have 2 teams on the go and hoping to make a third.

OK I never known this even existed.
I tried to do something:


Too generic?
Moves kinda well, a bit bumpy but goes where it needs to go. Also very low to the ground.

Reminds me Spore and one of those simulators that simulate evolutions of creatures over hundreds of iterations.

Give Bamzooki a try. You might like it.

If not, then WenXiangLeave. It seems like there's a good bit of interest into what myself and tom are putting together in this thread, and doesn't exactly need "1/10 c***" sprinkled over it.

I don't mean to be mean, lol. Just a bit of banto, take it with a grain of salt. Give it a look. Catch you on the flip-side, space cowboy.

I tried to test a zook on the game version Tom posted... And it crashed. Any reason this could happen?

Its more like creature sport physics simulator. You create things called Zooks. Yes. Zooks. It was a CBBC show, after all.

I recommend it.

Can I have a look at what the zook looks like? Some designs might do that.

I'm glad this game is getting a bit of attention :) If enough people play (and enjoy) this, perhaps there may be more than just a one-off tournament.

Just gonna quickly say, this is a fun little tourney. Sportsmanship and originality is encouraged in your teams, so try not to think too much about winning when making your zook. However, even with that said, I'm not trying to stop anyone from making their unstoppable zook ;) (just give some of us some breathing room, haha.)

I can already start seeing how this will need a rule set at some point if this ever becomes a thing. Perhaps I'll separate tournaments into 'Casual' and 'Competitive' later on and I'll work with some guys that've also played this game before (such as Joelu Of Eagleland and SM, if they're up for it) on making a balanced rule set for the competitive tournaments. Well, that's if this takes off :P I'll guess we'll see the turnout of this little tourney first.

Right, I suppose I'll edit the OP with every team I currently have. Keep an eye on that if you wanna know who's already in. Have fun making ya zooks :)

Yeah, that's the kind of stuff I was thinking of. I even thought that after making a 100+kg sumo zook :P
