Problem: I click on your link, and a page shows up that says: "File name is missing an extensions or extension is invalid. Please beat the creator of this link upside the head." This is extremely weird here. Answers?
Too bad you don't get your moves and when you get to the top of the hill after talking to bottles, the game crashes.
Maybe an encoder will be friendly/nice enough to put up a video download.
Works for me. Looks nice. And it's "superflip", dammit. >_>
It'd be cool if the script only functioned when sonic's x velocity reached a certain point
romcheck1 = memory.readbyte(0x00013f)
if romcheck1 == 71 then addr_xspeed = 0xffd010 end
-- Sonic 1
if romcheck1 == 50 then addr_xspeed = 0xffb010 end
-- Sonic 2
if romcheck1 == 32 then addr_xspeed = 0xffb018 end
-- Sonic 3&K
gens.registerbefore(function()
xspeed = memory.readwordsigned(addr_xspeed)
if (xspeed >= 1500 and xspeed <= 2500) or (xspeed <= -1500 and xspeed >= -2500) then gui.image(gui.gdscreenshot(), 0.8) end
if (xspeed >= 2500) or (xspeed <= -2500) then gui.image(gui.gdscreenshot(), 0.92) end
message = string.format("velocity: %d", xspeed)
gui.text(10, 50, message, "#FFFF00FF", "black")
end)gens.registerbefore(function()
thebyte = memory.readbyte(0x00013f)
message = string.format("byte: %d", thebyte)
gui.text(10, 50, message, "#FFFF00FF", "black")
end)Constructive solution much appreciated. Realize that I was not asking anyone to spend half an hour to make me a savestate. I would've thought after all of the discussion that someone had one available, which apparently was not the case.
The comparison video was really cool, but the endless japanese text got annoying. What was so important to say that it was worth having it scroll constantly?
(Aquas unassisted gives 100ish score, tool assisted gives 300+.) See this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEOJcvTn--4
Here is a video comparison: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0FaKwcB4AsI'd presume each egg has it's own unique identity though, unlike useless stuff like bugs or fairies. Once you collect an egg, you can no longer collect another egg in that exact same spot, so clearly the game knows which eggs you have collected. If it does have some sort of labelling system on the eggs, it might prevent NWBN being learned by collecting 7 clones. EG in the tank you'll have eggs: 2222222 instead of : 1234567, so the game might not recognise it fully and so not teach you the song.
From what I understood from watching a let's play of this game, you need to beat bosses 1-3 if you want to be able to beat the final boss. So the 1-1 to 4-4 warp might not be that useful..
Nevertheless, I enjoyed watching it, and I don't know that it's improvable, so I'm going to vote Yes.
This didn't do it for me... too long and repetitive. The slopes seems like the only interesting way to gain speed. You mentioned that there are warps that skip some levels. How much time would that save approximately?
However, a similar "when Link enters area" trigger cutscene, when you arrive at Hyrule Castle gate and Zelda+Shiek run away and Ganandorf appears, if you superslide into the cutscene, it's not delayed, nor does holding your shield up affect anything at all (the scene is shown with his shield down).
Nice first submission, RattleMan! The game is a bit repetitive, but the music is funny and some of your stylistical choices entertained me to some extent. The rollercoaster levels were funny, despite their autoscrolling nature. The bad hit detection and lag makes it look sloppy sometimes, but I know the game and I think your movements were rather precise, so my vote is getting towards the "yes". One question, though. You mention that the "hardest difficulty plays through all levels". What does that mean? Does that mean that the warps are not available in the hardest difficulty? Or did you just decide to not use them? I think the levels offer very little new content as the game progresses, so if the hardest difficulty allows warping, it might make the movie more tight without significant loss in content. Overall, this may be an average TAS, but still quite good for a first submission.
That was more entertaining than the average platformer. The submission text answered most of the questions I had while watching the movie, though I still have my doubts about optimization. Just one question: did you watch any memory addresses?
I myself voted Yes on this. :3 This game brings back a fond memory of watching Nickelodeon Arcade back when it was on television. This game was actually played once. :3 And it was very entertaining, that 30 minutes just flew by. :3
I hope you decide to make this, 'cause I would like to see the final result. Let me know if you want me to actually critique your WIP (I don't know if you are actually posting as a WIP or just a showcase so someone else picks it up.)
Here's a little something I did for the fun of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bl8shPiUrM
