Watched it. Really fun game, you have to play it to appreciate how hard this game is, There were certain levels that were just so hard. About the Run: The time attack is reasonably interesting and very fast. I like how they throw in items to reduce time, that take so long to get, that they actually make you lose time, if they are not in the path that you are falling, Moving. This is really fast, And would warrant publication, unless there is another mode that would be able to be played with it. Near the end of Track F you jump from side to side to get the two two second off items, is this really worth it? wouldn't it just be fast to go through the last two blocks to the end? Just a though. Other than that Great JOB! I am uploading it in parts to you tube, check back here later.

Patryk: Maybe we could co-author a TAS someday. Now, what I most regret... Not joining earlier. I missed TASVideos when it was in it's prime, and that makes me sad. :(

endRandil, can you glitch the Warlock and/or dragon into the EI? Then, if you can use the staff that way, you shouldn't even need to be in the final room, right?

EDIT: Some more images with this approach:
As you can see, it still has some trouble with smooth transitions, but I think it looks better now.
EDIT2: One more to show the differences - First one is the one made with my first script, then comes the 2x2 version, and lastly the original:
Flygon's picture made with the 2x2 script:
Old version:
Lab version:
I'm not sure which one is best of those two.
I double checked that the program works correctly, and it seems like it does. Strange...[...] but I would really rather use the algorithm that Randil has got going on here.
Good luck!
turned out like this:
I think the problem lies in the distance function. I'm using the same one I used for the mosaic script I made, namely this: If the pixel you are to choose a color for has RGB values R1, G1 and B1, and color i (i is 1,...,15 since Mario Paint has 15 colors) has RGB values R(i), G(i), B(i), then the distance function is defined as
d=|R1-R(i)|^p + |G1-G(i)|^p + |B1-B(i)|^p
Here the RBG values are between 0 and 255. The script loops through all 15 colors and picks the one that gives the smallest d.
p is a parameter you can change in the script. I used p=1 in the pictures I posted.
I seem to remember Derakon mentioning in the Mosaic thread that you should weight the RGB values differently. I might need to do this. Another option would be to choose an entirely different distance function. Any thoughts on this matter?
Nice one's! I was thinking doing a short video that way^^but it might take ages. How does your programs work? Is it faster than the real Mario Paint?
I'll try and upload some more later on.
