Your position is however 0x03C13B and determined like this:
0x03C12E is the lift timer with 0x03C124 determining it's countdown length. Every loop it changes 0x03C12F from 0 to 1 and vice versa, 0 moves the right elevator and 1 moves the left.
0x03C130 is the conveyor belt.
0x03C137 is the amount of cement for the upper left machine
0x03C138 is the amount of cement for the lower left machine
0x03C139 and 0x03C13A is the same but for the upper/lower right respectively.Language: luamemory.usememorydomain("Combined WRAM") posX = {[0]=30,[1]=25,[2]=75,[3]=120,[4]=160} posY = {[0]=45,[1]=105,[2]=110,[3]=110,[4]=110} full = {[0]=3,[1]=4,[2]=5,[3]=4,[4]=3} --full "length" of tentacles while true do gui.drawText(175,0,"+"..memory.read_u16_le(0x03A446),'BLACK') --Score saved up gui.drawText(130,15,"Total:"..memory.read_u16_le(0x03A3C8)+memory.read_u16_le(0x03A446),'Black') -- and total gui.drawText(0,145,"Timer:"..memory.readbyte(0x03A87D).."/"..(memory.readbyte(0x03AECC)+2),'Black') --Speed appears -2 than timer limit for i = 0x03AACA, 0x03ACBA, 0x7C do --First tentacle and offsets index = (i-0x03AACA)/0x7C --to convert i into natural numbers --offset 0xA is state; 0 = DNE; 2 = Attack; 6 = Retreat if memory.readbyte(i+0xA) == 2 then gui.drawText(posX[index],posY[index],memory.readbyte(i).."/"..full[index].."\n"..memory.readbyte(i+0xA),'Maroon') elseif memory.readbyte(i+0xA) == 6 and memory.readbyte(i) == full[index] then gui.drawText(posX[index],posY[index],memory.readbyte(i).."/"..full[index].."\n"..memory.readbyte(i+0xA),'Red') elseif (memory.readbyte(i+0xA) == 6 and memory.readbyte(i) ~= full[index]) then gui.drawText(posX[index],posY[index],memory.readbyte(i).."/"..full[index].."\n"..memory.readbyte(i+0xA),'Orange') elseif memory.readbyte(i+0xA) == 0 then gui.drawText(posX[index],posY[index],memory.readbyte(i).."/"..full[index].."\n"..memory.readbyte(i+0xA),'Green') end end emu.frameadvance() end
No idea what address determine's it's color yet. Offset 0x1B seems to be it's speed; sadly it only increases after like 600 or so points scored. Balloon sprite seems to be at offset 0x11. Green - 0x3B,0x3C Red - 0x2B,0x2C Black - 0x33,0x34 Blue - 0x1E, 0x1F Moon - 0x19 There's a speed address for each balloon at offset 0x1A. It's a 2 byte unsigned value that starts at 80, 112, and 320 for Easy. Hard and Very Hard respectively. No idea why the numbers are that large though. 320 seems the highest; didn't managed to get a speed over that even on Very Hard. Address 0x03E456 affects the speed itself; it starts at 5,7 and 20 for Easy. Hard and Very Hard respectively and corresponds to the above values by a factor of 16. Anyways, here's a script to display all the balloons at once:Language: lualocal i = 0x03C7E4 if bit.check(memory.readbyte(i+0x54),0) then gui.drawText(0,10, "???") end if bit.check(memory.readbyte(i+0x54),1) then gui.drawText(0,10, "Hit an NPC") end if bit.check(memory.readbyte(i+0x54),2) then gui.drawText(0,10, "1st set of ropes passed") end if bit.check(memory.readbyte(i+0x54),3) then gui.drawText(0,10, "2nd set of ropes passed") end if bit.check(memory.readbyte(i+0x54),4) then gui.drawText(0,10, "???") end if bit.check(memory.readbyte(i+0x54),5) then gui.drawText(0,10, "Hit the ground") end if bit.check(memory.readbyte(i+0x54),6) then gui.drawText(0,10, "Not a balloon; its a moon.

When rand() is used in the pseudocode of later posts, it refers to this. The variable LCG_STORAGE is stored at the four-byte address 0x030014D0. It doesn't appear to explicity set a seed, so it simply begins operation with the default 0 stored in memory. LCG update scenarios The LCG is updated in a variety of situations. It updates once-per-frame frame on the title screen. It is updated 2-4 times when transitioning between screens (it varies a bit depending on the screen, and I will probably provide more precise details later). It updates when changing the selected game on the Game Select screen. It updates once when pausing, and once when unpausing (perhaps not consistently? More investigation required.) Each game will use the LCG for its operations, usually when deciding how long to delay certain events or which things to spawn. Practical use Without game-specific context, the value stored at this address is not very useful. However, once a specific game is better understood, the value of this address will become extremely useful in optimizing luck manipulation for that game. One important detail about the LCG storage address for TASing: the address always contains the value of the previous generated random number. So to set it up to generate a specific value, your goal is to have it be equal to the value that precedes the desired value in the LCG cycle. In general, the goal is to delay the LCG until it arrives at a useful number. There are two direct ways to affect this in all games: pausing and rebooting. Rebooting is an easy way to set the LCG to a precise frame by waiting a specific number of frames on the title screen.Language: python# The RNG; an LCG def rand(): LCG_STORAGE = (LCG_STORAGE * 0x5D588B65 + 1) & 0xFFFFFFFF return LCG_STORAGE >> 0x10
Basically, a character will spawn whenever there are 0 characters in play, or with a 41/90 (45.55%) when the 49-frame spawn timer runs out (assuming the number of characters isn't maxed out). When it's time to spawn a character, Toad is the default, and then three checks are made in succession to determine whether the character should be converted to a Yoshi, Baby DK, or Egg. There's an important detail here: all three spawn checks are always run, but if an earlier check succeeds, later checks cannot succeed because there's a character_type_chosen. Therefore, spawning an egg is doubly complicated: not only does the random egg spawning check have to succeed, but both of the prior alternate character's checks have to fail. Spawn mechanics part 2: character spawn chances One important detail is missing from the above code: how are the character spawn chances set? For Easy and Hard mode, the spawn chances are updated at specific score thresholds. When the score is >= the score threshold, multiple variables are updated, including the spawn chances, the max_characters variable and two other currently unknown variables. The score-threshold and related data are hardcoded in 9-byte blocks starting at 0x080d389c for Easy mode and 0x080d3b12 for Hard mode. There are 70 such blocks for Easy mode, and 65 blocks for Hard mode. The block format is as follows: Byte 0-2: score threshold, byte 3:speed , byte 4: max_characters, byte 5: baby_dk_spawn_chance, byte 6: yoshi_spawn_chance, byte 7: egg_spawn_chance, byte 8: unknown. The score threshold is one base-10 score digit per byte in big endian. The speed controls the magnitude by which individual character movement timers will increase per frame. Once a character's movement timer reaches >= 180, the character will have the movement physics applied; otherwise it will just stay in place for another frame. Therefore, the practical update speed can be calculated as a movement update every 180 / speed frames (e.g. with a speed of 180 falling characters will move every frame, with 90 every two frames, etc.) Below I have included a selection from the spawn probabilities in the format <score threshold>: <yoshi_spawn_chance>, <baby_dk_spawn_chance>, <egg_spawn_chance> (max: <max_characters>, speed: <speed>) Note that although the score thresholds stop at 999, specific score pre-filtering code prevents further advancement after the 999 score values are reached for each difficulty.Language: pythonTOAD = 0 YOSHI = 1 BABY_DK = 2 EGG = 3 MOON = 4 BOB_OMB = 5 # Called every frame def attempt_spawn(): # 49-frame timer spawn_timer += 1 if (spawn_timer == 49) or (num_characters == 0): spawn_timer = 0 if ( # 41/90 (45.55%) chance to spawn ((rand() % 90) <= 40) or \ (num_characters == 0) or \ (difficulty == 2) ) and (num_characters != max_characters): num_characters += 1 character = find_available_character_slot() character.type = TOAD character_type_chosen = False if random_spawn(yoshi_spawn_chance) or (yoshi_spawn_chance == 0xFF): character.type = YOSHI character_type_chosen = True if (random_spawn(baby_dk_spawn_chance) or (baby_dk_spawn_chance == 0xFF))) and (not character_type_chosen): character.type = BABY_DK character_type_chosen = True if (random_spawn(egg_spawn_chance) or (egg_spawn_chance == 0xFF)) and (not character_type_chosen): character.type = EGG # Sub-part of attempt_spawn above def random_spawn(spawn_chance): if rand() <= math.floor(spawn_chance * 2/3): return True else: return False def find_available_character_slot(): # TODO - not analyzed in depth pass # Called whenever an egg collides with the trampoline (the first bounce) def hatch_egg(character): # 31/64 (48.4%) chance to be a moon if ((rand() & 0x3F) > 0x20): character.type = MOON else: character.type = BOB_OMB
