Hello everybody,

I've been attempting speedruns for Simon's Quest (on and off) for a little bit now, and I've been trying to improve my consistency with floor drops.

I understand they're related to Simon's X Value (or at least I think I've heard this) but I have no way of knowing how to figure out what X values will grant a floor drop, and how to achieve them. I know that (most?) stairs reset Simon's X Value but I don't really know what changes his value other than jumping, whip-jumping, (presumably) using a sub-weapon and maybe ducking? But then obviously if one of these affects the value by 2, and one by 3 it will vastly change the way you set up floor drops.

Is there a resource available that has some information which can shed some light on this for me or some kind of tool that shows you some information about this?

I feel like the Simon's Quest community (despite it being very small) could use a resource or guide to help new people get going on this speedrun.

Any information would be fantastic, so thanks in advance.
