As of Nov. 21, 2017 we have a new rule in place. For now, this applies only to those submitting runs on iOS and Android.

5. If your video was recorded with the built-in screen recording feature on your device, the video must have sound, and you must have the microphone enabled. If your video was recorded with a camera, make sure the screen is reasonably visible.

For Android, I suggest using AZ Recorder: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hecorat.screenrecorder.free&hl=en

We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause. Thank you for your understanding.

I think it should be in the "Guides"

Ok thanks for adding it to guides, but this is also an announcement so everyone can see the rule change

Do you also have horizontal stripes in "Level Leaderboard"? This is probably an update

Yes it must be an update

Actually I was looking at the theme settings. The row border color might change that

and i just recorded a sub 1 hour any% no skips run without sound...

Submit it. We’ll accept it. But from now on use the microphone

The whole point of the rule is to make it possible to check if someone video-edited a segmented run. You’re a mod who knows you did indeed do the run in one take. Just submit it

Also PuzzleKing told me he can record using a microphone. So I think we should change the microphone rule to affect PC and Mac users too.

As an aside PuzzleKing says he uses a Mac so we should change his submissions to reflect he uses a Mac and not a PC

submitted. will record with game/mic audio from now on to be fair

Awesome! I noticed the new rule wasn't even added to the full game rules so it's ok. I've also edited the rules to make it clear that videos submitted to the full run leaderboard CAN also be used for the individual level leaderboard. (I see no reason why one couldn't do that.)

@MrSSFireball When you have time, could you submit your full game runs to the individual level leaderboard? It would be nice for the leaderboard to be fuller than it is. Look at the frame counting tutorial if you haven't already

I have a broken phone now, so I can not even speedrunning

:(

Hey, when are you going to edit times in other categories than just "Golf Land - Any% No Skips"?

When I have time. I was thinking we should only do times without loads for the top runs of any category. It takes a long time to time runs without loads.

So we time things without loads if:

1. There are multiple runners in any category
2. If times are close enough to put into question who has the true faster time

And I haven't figured out a good way to time the Any% With Skips runs without loads. It's hard to tell when the game stops taking inputs and begins loading the menu at the end. I was thinking we start timing load times when the player makes the last input of the run.

I am not entirely sure but I have little suspicion of "Portal Land - Any% No Skips"

Note: Android has the slowest load times iOS has faster load times than Android (faster than Android by ~ 0.2 seconds per load) Mac has faster load times than iOS (faster than iOS by ~0.05 seconds per load)

Yes but load times will significantly affect the final time for runs with skips
