The Darts scheme is a wormy adaptation of the popular real-life Darts game.

In this adaptation, players have to launch their worms to the scoreboard. This is done by enabling Low Gravity, then by using the Ninja Rope to build momentum against the landscape (generally a wall, but could also be a dot for example), and finally by effectively flying to the scoreboard, triggering a Pneumatic Drill rapidly after initiating the flight. Certain maps may require pressing the Space bar in order to stop the drilling, lest the worm should fall off the scoreboard and drown.

Variations

Blast Darts

Posted on TUS on 15th November 2015 by SiD, this variation uses a RubberWorm setting: "/fuseex". The difference is that instead of drill, there is grenade that must be used with 0 second of fuse time. The grenade will automatically explode the worm using the rope and launch it to the scoreboard. Low Gravity is optional.

Bungee Blast

Inspired by Blast Darts, TheKomodo uploaded the scheme on TUS on 15th November 2015. The gameplay is similar to Blast Darts, but with the Bungee. Low Gravity is mandatory, RacingStuff must be activated. The scheme was invented by Komito, Nonentity and spleen17. The 3 first maps were made by TheKomodo.

History

The scheme was created by SiD in 2011, with his map uploaded to the Worms Map Database in July of that year.

A dedicated community, Darts n Stuff (dS), was then created in 2012 by Alien and Komito (currently led by Hurz, Triad and spleen17). dS have promoted the scheme heavily and Darts-related competitions are held frequently. The scheme has appeared in the Worm Olympics every year from 2012 to 2016, and in cups and tournaments hosted on The Ultimate Site between 2012 and 2018.
