I can’t even tell how the level 4 RNG saved you time… can you explain it?

Wouldn’t it save like 1 frame if you aligned to hit 2 of the center white things at the start of the level? Move a bit to the left, then go up and shoot 2 instead of just the center one.
Edit: You also seem to move up unnecesarily after you’ve cleared the green stuff, wouldn’t it be faster to just turn and shoot for 1 frame then continue in a horizontal line rather than moving that much vertically?
Edit2: In the third level, to destroy the 3 middle ones, you use 2 turns instead of a single turn aligned to destroy 2 at once. Does that not lose time? Also, your ending to level 3 is different compared to your level 2’s, but they’re the same thing, so are both strategies tied in speed?
Right. I saw you couldn't shoot through the green layer. It looked as though you only went through one layer of green before you turned left and then went up through the second layer. Why not drive up through both layers right away?
The vault/moon thing seems to me like an outdated model that site has simply outgrown, which I consider to be a good thing.
Strategy question: in Level 2, can you save any time by shooting up at some of the white targets before heading left? It seems like you waste a little bit of time to face upwards to fire at them in your current route. At the start of the route, however, you're already facing upwards, so you wouldn't waste any frames to turn and shoot them.
For TAStudio GBA core, is there any way to 1. Hide columns, especially Tilt X/Y and Light Sensor?
2. Set the values to 0 rather than 100 for Light Sensor?
(a criticism I have of Basic Bot is that there's no 'minimize' option as of yet)
Let's stop harping on Warp for a minute to reflect on what moozooh said right there: "It's not the sex we're celebrating; it's the courage." There's still a stigma around gender issues, particularly trans-issues, and it takes a lot of courage to stand up in the face of all of that and say, "No, seriously, the physical of my body and the makeup of my mind disagree, and we can change the body medically now." Remaining silent is nice, it sends the message, "Oh, trans-issues are less of a thing and people are more accepting of one another as humans and less as binary choices that have to be filled out." However, speaking up in support is a much stronger message - it's supportive. It suggests to the people that are too afraid to step forward that they /can/ do so, and will be met favourably. A thread like this is a show of support, and it absolutely belongs on this site, in this forum.
Unless anyone strongly objects, I'm going to change the 2-player run to Vault and have it obsoleted by the 1 player as dunnius suggested.
