It mentioned: "the goal is to achieve a high accuracy of perfect hits while completing the game in approximately 30 to 40 minutes. The competition revolves around maintaining a consistently high level of accuracy throughout this time frame."
I'm not a pro gamer of playing rhythm game. When I saw the timing rule first time, my first thought is that the faster speed of selecting a song has more effects than achieving a high accuracy of perfect. Even a runner could create a new account and only unlock the songs for doing a faster speedrun, it's has more advantages on selecting songs.
I recommend to time with: sum of the songs' time + the time you played in the last song(you might retire). Each song has its own fixed time, we might have a list of them for calculating the IGT. The time of a song is recorded on a wiki page, but it's better to measure each song's time carefully if we hope to have a accurate time with millisecond precision (it needs to be decided when is seen as starting/ending a song in the game).
Otherwise it has more disadvantages if a runner would like to only play their favorite songs or a prepared list of songs, they should spend more time on selecting a song. Also if we measure time with IGT, then we don't need the rule: To start, go from the home screen to the song selection screen, and there, choose the EASY difficulty of the song "Tell Your World." Keep the song display order on default. But they still must provide the full video which is done in a single segment.
The description of the Target is confusing. Why don't keep it being "Continuously achieve 20,000 perfects"?
"Continue to" is more like that you did something first, and then you start doing the same thing next.
I was confused until I read the Japanese version.
I surveyed and found that yt-frame-timer would be a better tool to retime on YouTube directly by following the steps described on the page.
Also the tool was mentioned in the 2 verified runs, that why I noticed it.
The game files provide a file named "options.txt" that clearly describe all options that could be modified, and lots of .txt files of the level configurations. Modifying those files might make a run easier, but it's difficult for moderator/verifier to verify if they modified them or not.
We might need the following additional rules in the game rule:
For a run that could be a new WR, the video must include showing "Date modified" of "data\missions\options.txt" first and then launch the game in the same directory(the parent directory of data).
For version 2.0.2, the "Date modified" should be 4/27/2011; Otherwise it is seen as a modified options, not a default options of this game.
I just want to update that it's not possible to stop the game and timer at the same time by clicking the other program. I have met the same situation more times last week, and I thought there is a big problem with my computer's GPU...
I just updated the cover of the game, I combined the materials in the game files to have a new cover("data\images\status\title.png" and "data\images\icons\tuxmath.svg").
My thought now is: it affects a run, but everyone could control the falling speed of comets by clicking the arrow keys up/down to find a suitable speed while running.
Additionally, most monitor available on the market now don't have too small resolution, so currently we don't have any limitation on it.
Update: I have retimed ALL categories.
