Nyet 3 could be interesting. It's a Tetris-with-challenges game, except the challenges include things like "snakes depositing blocks on the playfield" and "barriers that open and close across the middle of the field", and you can buy items to make some of the challenges easier -- except that items are expensive so you can't clear every or even most of the challenges by cheesing them with items.
Or maybe it'd just be a dull puzzle-game TAS. Who knows.
It's a DOS game, so here is a more appropriate wishlist for it.
I watched the video, and this looks like it'd make a really interesting TAS! Of course, it would be a labour of love to make.
Kinda curious now after watching it and partway through the extra levels one. I saw you occasionally end a level with a TNT bomb when passing an otherwise inaccessible level end sign, but this makes me wonder how many milliseconds could be shaved off the ending if you used TNT right as the sign comes into view, rather than waiting for it to come into range of your gun?
Obviously, it's not something that works for all levels since most of the time the game's kinda stingy with the stuff, but in some of them you end up with a surplus of TNT, and gut instinct is telling me there's probably optimizations that could come from that.
Did you read 'Aiming for in-game time' section of TAS description?
I don't agree. At that point, runs will be allowed if a certain RAM initialization allows lots of entertainment value, at which point, you're not using a <insert_console> and you're just hacking things to hell.
But if you have to disclose all ram initialization you specified, then it'll become really obvious that it relies too much on it and people will vote 'no'
I'm not opposed to different RAM initializations, assuming they are cherry picked from known ones from actual consoles.
If a TAS uses a certain RAM initialization, it should be fully disclosed in the description. Then users and judges can decide if 'Seems reasonable enough' or 'lol no, put the cosmic rays away'
Bad game, bad plot, good speedgame. Remember, if you TAS it, it becomes canon in the TASVideos universe!
Unfortunately the fastest known runs are not on youtube, they're on twitch, both by JaggerG:

Could you make fixed window class for BizHawk? It's alway change in every new version, examplle in 1.7.2: WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.3d90434_r13_ad1
Could you tell us why you want such a thing? We might could attach additional information for the window that your thing-which-you-shouldnt-be-using could pick up to identify it.
He's writing a program designed to send input to multiple TASing emulators at once to support the making of 'X games 1 input' TASes.
Hmm, if you're limited to various sections of code already existing in the game, that's no longer truly arbitrary execution anymore, right?
You'd think so, but return oriented programming is as strong a programming model as the original program (e.g. arbitrary execution is possible) and has been used to get root access in a lot of real life programs.
