Those seem like very subjective questions, often using terms that specific people have made up. I would test more your knowledge of starcraft and mapmaking more than knowledge of our own community's terms.



None.

63 or less. most often it's 62 in order to make space for a comment.



None.

We live in a society.

You don't have to use 63. You could do it with any number, it will just affect the number of types it will run before they all finish. There is also the other method for perpetual hyper triggers that uses two triggers, three waits, and a switch.

Ya. I use that one. I'm not too fond of spamming my actions with Wait 0.
I'd do things more like "What is the maximum amount of actions?"(64) and "What is the maximum amount of conditions?"(16)
Maybe include some other map limits: "What is the maximum amount of units that can be on the map?"(1700).

The trivia questions were a bit outdated. I edited first post with the current ones.

That's only if you have them in english and order them alphabetically.

Not really, they're terms that everybody should know even if some people have made them up because everybody uses the same term to refer to them.

Is it 1700? I had it set to 1650 because that's SCMDraft2 unit limit.

The StarEdit limit is 1650, StarCraft's is 1700.
