How about Not Tetris? I would be awesome to fill up the whole board with tetrominoes to get the maximum score of 4500 on Stack mode.

Would make it easier if for now people just suggested games that are actually runnable in Hourglass and don't need mouse.
This is a block of text that can be added to posts you make. There is a 255 character limit

Does anyone better than me at getting games to run in Hourglass know how to run this one? Trilby: The Art Of Theft When I try it and turn logging on, it ends in a loop like the following: 00016648: (f=0, t=6000, c=00000204) DeterministicTimer::GetTicks(0x0) called. 00016648: (f=0, t=6000, c=00000284) MyQueryPerformanceCounter called. For thousands and thousands of lines. I think it would be interesting to TAS, since playing it fast requires running past guards and cameras and not giving them enough time to spot you. Plus, there's a system where you trade RPs (essentially EXP) for skills and passive abilities, so some route planning would be required. There could be an any% run (just beat the final boss) and a 100% run (all trilby grades? all RP in the game acquired?) I also know of two useful glitches: 1) Causing in game processing to pause (e.g. by going through a doorway) on the same frame an alerted guard/camera would cost you an alarm causes them to instead freeze and never actually do it. Perhaps this would be useful in a TAS. 2) If you roll past a screen boundary, you roll much longer. Obviously useful. Also, an RP maxed file seems to have 8152 RP, unless I missed something. You have to unlock EVERY door from both sides, for example. Link to video EDIT: Trilby: The Art of Theft is a game built on this engine: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/ If it helps

I wouldn't mind seeing a run of I wanna be the Boshy it's pretty similar to I Wanna Be The Guy but I find the level design and boss fights to be a lot more interesting. Here is what a normal run looks like Link to video
This signature is much better than its previous version.

What you are seeing is just an "F".

After several months I returned to my Hyper Princess Pitch attempt at beating the Really Joel's Mom difficulty setting with the help of Hourglass. I was able to beat Mecha Santa's first form but, unfortunately, the attacks in his final form are impossible to avoid. It would take 2 or more extra lives to have a chance to beat him and while it might be possible to reach Mecha Santa without losing a single life I don't feel like attempting it right now. An image at Mecha Santa's final form: http://bayimg.com/capoEaadm

Hey, at least it works in Hourglass....sort of. You can't capture video lol. Note to potential TASers: The settings to play Ao Oni ver.6.23 on Hourglass is: Wait Sync Mode - Asynchronous (Unchecked Waits) Multithreading Mode - Allow unknown threads only/Allow trusted threads only Edit: Oh, and I managed to get frame advance to work. Apparently, you must have "Frame Advance skips lag frames" unchecked for it to pause/frame advance. Edit 2: I managed to get savestates to work...on Windows XP. Oh well. :P Edit 3: Allow unknown threads crash the game early on. Use "Allow trusted threads only".

Here we GO! yoyogames (Gamemaker) time. That's it for now I decided to grab the well known ones rather than getting a little out of hand.

Call of Duty Classic and beyond? Even though mouse input cannot be done, aim can still be done with arrow keys. The hipfire aim can be manipulated insanely...

I'd almost wager that even if aiming is accounted for, Call of Duty simply is too modern and far, far too resource demanding to be TASed in any capacity. If I remember correctly though, it was based on the Quake 3 engine, so somewhere in the game, internal demo recording tools should be hidden. For the time being, utilizing those is your best bet.

I shall look into it, I haven't had much luck in finding how to record a single player demo (some reason it only works with multiplayer), I'll have to do more research. Thanks for the response :)

The Karoshi games need mouse input for the menus.

If they didn't I'd have TASed them a long time ago. Heck, I still have the source code on my computer. I mailed Venbrux if I could have a go at building in tool assistance in game maker (which proved hard, it's not very deterministic. replaying the exact same input far from guarantees identical results). The moment Hourglass popped up, I tried doing it that way to get Venbrux the TAS I promised him all those years ago. If I have the time, I might just install a virtual machine (to get GM working on Windows 7) and adept the source to not-need a mouse.

Isn't the only reason why nitsuja didn't implement mouse support is because he couldn't think of a good way to make mouse support go well with resizeable windows? If a 'hack' version of mouse support was implemented, shouldn't that do for the time being?

If I remember correctly he wanted to make sure keyboard input and the overall stability of Hourglass improved before adding new things (like mouse-support). Hopefully nitsuja will return soon from whatever he is up to.

Could the mouse be recorded to always mark the point relative to the program's position? Oh, and if the window resizes during runtime, it (hopefully) wouldn't matter if the resizing is deterministic so the mouse could still click at the same spot.

Indiana Rodent I would like to see a TAS of this. It's a straightforward 9-level platformer with interesting acceleration effects, and there's a hidden McGuffin in each level if you want a 100% run. At the title screen, press F9 to unlock hard mode which has more enemies and extra spikes everywhere (normally unlocked by playing through normal mode).

I logged in just to say a Cave Story pacifist run would be awesome. I wish good luck to anybody who wants to try! (I tried myself to make a real-time pacifist run, it was so hard I couldn't get past Grasstown!)

Good idea that. ------------------------------- (On a different note) Many CRPGs can be completed in a matter of minutes. Could they be a appropriate subject for TASing? take for example the first two fallouts.
