Tyler: do you agree with everything said by Carcinogen? If so, I think your movie may be a bit too sub-optimal.
It seems like there are a bit improvements for this run according to what Carcinogen has pointed out like the "rapid fire bug" which wasn't done in this run and "fight Birkin's claw" "Shooting the claw makes the fight go way faster than just letting Ada shoot it" and several other improvements as well. So yeah I agree with what Carcinogen is saying.
TylerArtrip, do you think you can apply those improvements? You just should have shown your progress to some people experienced in this game to prevent losses. Now it can be taken as posting a WIP and having quite some useful feedback. Also, please estimate the time that can be potentially saved if all of those were applied.

You did not lose the frame? You didn't record that transition screen from scratch? And didn't copy it from Xipo? I copied it from Scumtron and it's 1 frame faster than yours.

You lose 1 frame at 5339. Did you do those climbings from scratch, of copied from Xipo's movie?

Here is where I got into serious troubles - 6-2B. Not enough HP to play. All previous boosts seem unavoidable. Bird is undodgeable. Walls steal my jumps. Suicide in that room causes corner-clippping jump to fail. http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/4033837945331179 But overall, it is a VERY interesting TAS, I advice Scumtron to look into it. Completely different conditions and puzzles. Probably suicides take more time than running those rooms no-damage, I'm out of balls to test every tiny damage management possible, here's when I need a team. EDIT: Here is the finished test tas. http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/4037010555029665 Link to video

Saved 56 frames on that boss, thanks. However I have no idea where avoiding damage in 2 can save time. Here is my real project, use fceux 2.2.0. http://code.google.com/p/feos-tas/source/browse/trunk/TAS+WIPs/NinjaGaidenPacifist-compact.fm3 Marx: won't you join? Edit: Revised level 3: 195 saved overall. The link is above. Testing farther levels. EDIT 2: There is a knife thrower in frame 12737. I scrolled her in 3 frames later and got a different pattern. You can try that in level 2. There is a wall-climbing right before, you can notice that I do only 2 jumps and lose time, but even improving that wall-jumping, you would need to sacrifice the saved time to get the desired pattern from the witch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXMJRGmD0Mg EDIT 3: The link to SVN now has a movie up to level 5. Will resume testing tomorrow, have fun improving it for now :D

Tyson's actions seem to depend on your position relatively to him. And you can affect the position he spawns at by changing the position the previous enemy in that slot despawns at: http://tasvideos.org/GameResources/NES/NinjaGaiden.html#InheritedSubPixels UPD: tyson's attack also depends on his jumping pattern, that depends on Y pixel & subpixel, subpixel is got from the previous enemy as well. EDIT: Saved 2 frames over your stage 1 + boss! Better bouncing off the last tyson. You touch him when he is jumping, and spend more time with 1.0 speed. I touch him whlie he is on the ground. This saves some of my improvement and helps to prevent additional 1-frame boost you get before hitting the door. The boss is 0.5 pixel closer to me when I enter his room, but I still couldn't hit him sooner. EDIT 2: Revised level 2. We saved overall 70 frames comparing to my first wip. Starting lvl 3. http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/3971327318803844

Okay, then, when I am in mood I will resume test run, try improving it and post here. I would use this scheme anyway, because it's better to do the whole test, then totally redo, than trying to make each level optimized instantly. Marx seems more interested in a no-damage pacifist.

The source code is available, it's a Multimedia Fusion 2 project, with a few additional extension files. All the logics are present. Will rip from there directly. http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/forums/index.php?topic=14467.0

Looks very pleasant. Played that game in 1998 or something.

Wait this still wasn't submitted? Really? EDIT: Anyone still has Kurikinton's WIP? The link is dead. I wanted to map the game.

It would depend on game complexity, for example, TASing a Genesis game is pretty similar to TASing a SNES game, while NES and 3D games are different compared to both. So I don't see benefit it trying different consoles, since complexity isn't directly related. Genres, on the contrary, can make sense. But I'd still leave only game diversity considered.

This is an official TODO page considering site code: Wiki: TODO/Coding I felt unsatisfied and made up my own list of overall ideas about everything (Wiki, File base, Forum, Submission/Publication, Judging). Please discuss mine and suggest yours. Bug reports don't count. Wiki: Feos/Ideas Note: my list ignores required manpowers, just lists concepts.

I saved 100 MB over Aktan's encode of the previous publication. This is pretty surprising. There were 2 reasons: better compression and downscaling of the widescreen cuts instead up upscaling of the main game. Normal game resolution is 320x240 (as is my encode), cuts are 512x240 (as is Aktan's one). And my encode is 43 minutes.

Next time this call is repeated add a news announcement. Might help. But seeing how an Accepted list grows in 6 items per day is annoying. Four-ish people aren't enough, especially considering runs which require several days in a row to encode.
