We (my group and I) are currently making an article for college on the topic "Programming notions on metagaming" and we're focusing on speedrunning and glitch hunting.

I've looked a bit on the r/speedrun subreddit but I haven't found as many people to talk to. We needed some participants to answer questions. If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to receive replies in my inbox. Or if you all have any sugestions, I'd gladly read them.

We don't have any particular game restriction, it's just important to inform how important is programming concepts on your runs, or in glitch hunting (being either auxiliary, like, making a program to search for minecraft seeds, like [DylanDC14 did in his 20sec minecraft run](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJpXnjCt0hw&t=433s); or actively searching for glitches using your knowledge on memory manipulation; etc).

This is probably one of the most thorough explanations of a speedrun and TAS, including every relevant game element and mechanic, that I have ever watched. I feel like even if I had never heard of minecraft before I would still be able to fully appreciate this work-of-art run and the skill and effort that went into it. Really, really great work.
