EnglandThe coin should be collected on the same frame that the chuck spawns in on the right, so the positions of the coin are kept and the chuck spawns on the lowest sprite slot available, being the original slot the coin was in, and since the positions are saved, the chuck spawns on yoshi's tongue.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm 99% sure that's how that works, but I haven't played SMW for ages.
I'm not aware of which ones aren't calling rng because i never bothered trying, but dying constantly doesn't necessarily make it more likeky but it forces rng to be called again
I could explain how I got my WR run, but I've already made a thread on that and it's pretty self explanatory.
I don't understand how 1.026 was achieved so quick, unless he was planning to beat my run from the start. Even then, must've taken time
I know it's banned, and I know it's practically impossible to get less than sub1 seconds for 25 tiles, but considering the length of the world record right now, it would be best to allow emulators as long as there is a recording of it.
Why?
Think about it this way. Even me, my cps is roughly 24~28 depending on how i vibrate my wrist. I barely know anyone that has a higher cps, but let's assume they do. Let's also assume 30 cps. 25/30 = 0.83 seconds. This assumes perfect RNG manipulation, which using information I know:
1.165 seconds took roughly 13~18 hours (13 hrs excl breaks, 18 hrs incl breaks) 1.122 seconds took 133 hours incl 3 hrs of breaks.
Knowing this, we'll plug in the exponential constant to this "e". A gap of 0.43 seconds took a gap of (ave. gap) 116 hrs.
To work out our total, we plug it into an exponential calculator to receive 213576.404282820615927734375 minutes which is 3559.6067380470102654622395833333 hours which is 148.31694741862542772759331597222 days which is 21.188135345517918246799045138889 weeks you get the idea
Allowing emulators will mean we no longer require pressing something that has sometimes has a touchscreen clicky rate (which i had to buy new phones constantly), rather we can use a keyboard.
Y/N
either that or you can just jitterclick the screen normally and hope you get 25 tiles in one line
Okay. I said I'd make a thread post about RNG, so here it is.
Piano Tiles uses RNG to decide which of the 4 (assuming x¤4 layout) slots the next tile should go in. Everytime we press a tile, the game calls RNG. The game always seems to follow a certain pattern when RNG is called, so we can learn this pattern and follow it to get a decent 2~3 second run.
"How did you get your 1 second run?" you might ask... Well, there's a form of RNG manipulation that you can do, and it's a forced RNG call. (unsure of official name) What's this? This is when we purposely fail, which forces the next 25 RNG calls to be decided immediately.
For some reason, when we play the game normally, only the next tile gets RNG called, and it gets pretty random on what tile, so it's very hard to guess. If we lose the game by pressing a white tile, the next set of 25 tiles in the next game get called to RNG, and they are not overwritten in the memory when we press tiles. Because the 25 tiles generated have a similar hash value when we call the RNG, they will not be far away from each other (1,2 or 2,3 or 3,4 NOT 1,4), and so we are able to jitter-click the screen for maximum output. As a result, we can get a very quick time.
I mentioned in the desc. of my last one that I did the following two things:
- Defragmentation
- Restarting the phone completely and resetting the cache/cookies
Defragmentation means the game thinks quicker, and overall will give me a better time, as there's less clogged up bullshit in the phone. I would also buy a cheap separate phone and ONLY play piano tiles on that one, so there's no rubbish coming from other games to disturb gameplay speed.
Restarting the phone and removing the cookies/cache is currently only a theory for me. As far as I know, the game's RNG is also checked by the phone, so theoretically clearing the phone's memory and/or uninstalling+reinstalling piano tiles should restart how the RNG is called, and therefore with good observation, will allow you to get a very good time as you have practiced it.
However, there are some songs in PT that don't call RNG, instead they fall under a fixed set. This can be learned, but I doubt you can get a good time unless you jitterclick AND move your fingers accordingly, which I'm not bothered to do.
Thanks for reading the post. I said I wouldn't take back the WR and I did, but this time I honestly don't think I'll take it back unless WR is more than a second.
So, after miserably failing my 11-Exit (Cloud) run, I did a glitchless run and got a way better run.
Is it a more valuable use of my time to practice glitchless until I get amazing times before switching to glitch runs, or should I start learning orb/cloud now?
Isn't that just the entire game though?
Delayed reactions, I reckon you could get sub 9:10
But that's the thing, if I use OBS, my framerate will drop and it will look like I'm cheating.
How do I record both the splits that I use and the run itself together?
The only screen recorders I use atm are OBS and bandicam (which I can't be asked to get the registered version), and both recorders lag my computer, so if I were to record my emulator with it, it would look like I were cheating as the FPS rate would drop.
I don't have a video making program either, I only have WMM which afaik cannot merge videos together.
Any help?
@Volpey But what if the person submits the 29:59 first, then the 29:58, in that order?
Without submitting a quicker run unless the obsoleted run gets accepted?
5 PBs a day? How much time would one person have to spend to achieve that...? o.o
I spend atleast an hour and a half every day and I still don't get a PB everyday
edit: What if someone gets 30 minutes, then does another run and gets 29:59, then 29:58, and submits each run individually instead of submitting the best run?
