I was not aware that Cut the Rope was on Flashpoint. Will look into this

Alright, Steam board with 60fps limitation. Will be looking for a good framerate limiter for Windows/Linux, then 100% I'm down to add it!

The issue with the Steam version (from what I can tell by reviews) is that the game logic is tied to the framerate, and the framerate is capped at the monitor refresh rate, which means that if you have a 240hz monitor, the game runs 4x faster than intended. That's great for speedrunning, but means that different monitors give an advantage over others.

In v0.1.3.3 of the demo, there was a speed change. Runs that are on v0.1.3.2 and v0.1.2.7 may be slower or faster than v0.1.3.3 solely because of the speed difference.

I think it's important to discuss how the leaderboard could/should change because of this.

Hi there!

I, alongside many others, have requested the game “UPIXO in Action: Mission in Snowdriftland”. As of now, the game isn’t on the leaderboards yet, however all of us have submitted a request for this game.

So, what will happen in this scenario? I know that when your game gets accepted, you automatically become a moderator, so what would happen in this case?

Thanks! :)

Ah, I'm seeing at an outdated ruleset, they do allow Sodium and even made a guide for it: https://www.speedrun.com/mc/guide/fcr81

Thanks, mods!

The only reason I ask is because they explicitly say they don't allow mods EXCEPT OptiFine. I'm asking if this should be another exception.

(UPDATE: See the fourth reply)

Recently, a mod called Sodium was released for Fabric users (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/sodium/) which increases framerates exponentially. In my testing, I found that I jumped from 10FPS on average to 60FPS. Others have reported jumps from 10 to 100, 90 to 400, etc. The screenshots on the mod page show 35 to 500.

Would this mod be allowed in speedruns? It does nothing to affect the gameplay, solely performance/rendering improvements.

Monita will let you know when you exit the game, and a star will appear above the game. If you want to know how many games you've played so you can stop, yes, you'd need to count.

@miiwii While this definitely does seem incredibly dumb for an 8-year-old game with inactive runs, screw it, there's an empty category, I might as well try to plan it out.

I'll use this post to explain what I think would be the best route in general.

Animal Crossing: Sweet Dayo > Luigi Ghost's Mansion > Mario Chase > Pikmin's Adventure Versus > some games inbetween I haven't finished this lol > Prizes

I'm definitely not good enough to actually do 100% but it would make sense to think about what is generally considered the hardest game to do.

Primarily, we want to focus on the competitive attractions first, then team, then solo. After attractions, we focus on prizes.

Since routing for all of these is difficult, and there are many different ways to play each game, we'd need to find the optimal strategy for each. The Any% categories are the best place to go for these.

I'll watch the WR for Any% and see what I can get out of it, and in my own time do research on the fastest trophies/stamps to collect.

Hopefully the first 100% run can be a good 100% run.

I put this in the totally wrong forum.

The same also goes for Web (12). It has 4 boxes: Cardboard, Fabric, Toy, and Magic.

Aight, cool.

Timing You can use something called FramePerfect to time your runs while recording, however editing in a upwards counting timer would likely work better. Just look up "FramePerfect" in the App Store or Google Play.
