Did you try a wall jump?
I don't know if that's possible. The spin jump flight (and the regular flight?) both jump up in very discrete amounts, I don't know if you could hit a 16 pixel point with one of them.
I'll try to find one and mark the rest on the map though.

Well, that means that
46: Woods of Despair II
47: The Valley of Life
48: Elsewhere
49: The Valley of Life
50: The Black Pit
51: Lion's Den
can become
46: Woods of Despair II
47: Forced Entry
48: Elsewhere
49: Cliffs of Illusion
50: Lion's Den
and still feature the same number of different levels.

Alright then, one thing I'm not sure about. The reason I have some of these in parentheses...with the levels that have an Elsewhere that takes you back to the same level, can you just keep playing these two levels infinitely? And if so, should these Elsewheres be played at all?
/me points up at his list.
I made that one to point at the path featuring the most levels without using the same exit more than once.

Umm.. 66 times 10 equals 660, now, doesn't it? :)
eh? The way that's worded results in 76. I didn't know that Satan resided in the number 76. Though it does make odd sense. Well if you're an Islamic Militant anyway.

Bob, you can only grab info a byte at a time. It is then broken into the bits.
You could break up as 2 frames every 3 bytes. But that's not the simplest way to code it. And keeping the code readable and quick is paramont, especially over 4 bits a frame.

Oh, and I don't think it's practical to actuallty edit the key presses. The only think that you should really be doing is cutting and pasting. It'll be way to hard to try and edit stuff like that.
It's a good way to add or delete a frame or to add or subtract a button press from the frame after the fact.
And the game I'm working on has no randomness whatsoever. Which is refreshing because SM:RPG gave me a headache. I'm tacking Uniracer's right now. Much easier.

I've gotten this from experimenting. But I'm not 100% sure about the offset. The ones that are XX00 could be 00XX for all I know. But this way made more since in my test file so:
0001 = Right
0002 = Left
0004 = Down
0008 = Up
0010 = Start
0020 = Select
0040 = Y
0080 = B
1000 = R
2000 = L
4000 = X
8000 = A

From what I gather from reading the source each frame is represented in 16-bits (assuming you have one controller).
One for button pressed down, zero for not. But I haven't been able to figure out which buttons are which.
And if it's done like this you have 4 bits left over for each. Are they used for anything, or even checked?
(Heh, I could write secret messages in my .smvs. ^o^)

What if it times out?
At 5 seconds?
At 10 seconds?
At 60 seconds?
(I know I'm a bastard for playing Devil's Advocate, but it's the only thing I'm good at. ^_^;;)

Well, if you have to reach the door to end the game then your objective is to reach the door. Not kill the final boss. So the movie should end when you enter the door.

However, what if you have an "Enter Your Initials" box that times out?
How about in that one Lolo game that Bag of Magic Food did where you have the Rock, Paper, Scissors duel with The Great Devil. It looked like Bisqwit moved the arrows around so he could win the duel. Or was it unlosable?

The reason why Cheetahmen II breaks the rules is beacuse you cannot achieve your objective, not because there is not stated objective.
