About this game and movie

The World's Easy-est Game is a game that tasks you with 111 questions that sometimes require out of the box thinking
This movie aims to get the diploma, regardless if every question was answered correctly or not. It achieves that goal roughly 1 minute and 25 seconds faster than the WR by Tysix06

Interesting questions

(Note: the questions are always in random order, I'm numbering them based on the order they appear on the movie)
Question 2
In this question, you're supposed to not do anything for 10 seconds. If you click the "skip" button, you lose the question. Which means it will reappear in the end, which saves time because I don't have to press anything.
Question 38
Swimming to the right is 1 frame faster than going to the left
Question 45
The same thing as question 2
Question 54-55
These questions have an odd property where you can answer them while the text of the previous question is still playing, which can softlock the game if you're not careful. Unfortunately this only allows me to answer question 55 earlier.
Question 82
For some reason, when answering this question, sometimes the score in the top right corner will become infinity.
Question 91
In this question, I press the button twice in order to get a faster winning animation (if you're wondering, I can't press the button earlier than I did)

eien86: Claiming for judging.

eien86: Putting the submission notes inside the movie itself is a really cool idea, but they also need to be provided here for a correct sync, judging, and community feedback. Please do provide them.

eien86: A very creative movie for an uneventful game. Here the author manages to present the submission notes INSIDE the movie itself, and he does it (apparently) without losing any frames. This is because, in the questions where text needs to be inputted, the author provides the correct answer first, and then quickly inputs the notes while the fanfare plays.
Another important aspect of this movie is that the author manages to skip all the 'simply wait XX seconds' questions by immediately failing them (not waiting). In line with its premise, the game is so easy that it allows you to re-take the failed questions during the 'Redemption' round. Since the only thing to do then is to wait, all of the waiting questions are taking well after the last movie input. Clever.
All inputs are rather optimized and the execution is more or less entertaining.
Accepting to Standard
Note to encoder: You should find this game in any addictinggames.com flash collection. Sync was straightforward and required no special configuration.

TAS doesn't sync to the available (official) version.

Please use the correct version of the game. You're outlinking an Addicting Games title to not Addicting Games. Please resync and use the available (official) version.

The source of the version I used is www.addictinggames.com, so I'm pretty sure I'm using a correct version. Also, I checked the MD5 hash of the version you showed me, and it has the exact same hash as the version I used (the movie itself syncs as well). Just a question: What is the system time you're getting when you start the movie?

Can you just answer what it should be instead of having it open ended without informing us on what it should be. It doesn't help that your submission text has no useful information, because it has no information at all.

Why is the submission text empty?

Basically, I had this idea that was like "what if all the necessary movie information was in the movie itself?" which is why I write stuff like the md5 hash and the tricks in the run

That's a pretty cool concept, I actually love it. Still, some very basic things are necessary to have at hand for the TASVideos staff to judge/encode without spending an inordinate amount of time. Remember, we are all volunteers here and other movies need processing too.

The submission text is just as much for the benefit of the audience as it is the judge. It's also the best place to list sync instructions. Ideally you want to make it as easy as possible for judges to judge the submission, and easy for the general audience to understand what is happening in your TAS. Forcing every user to setup the correct TAS environment (game, emulator, etc) just to learn about the submission is frustrating. Edit: Having all of the information in the movie itself, is nice too! But the submission text is still useful nonetheless.

This isn't a problem because I provided an encode, if I didn't I would understand there being a problem.

Do you expect viewers to pause the encode potentially hundreds of times and reconstruct the comments, letter by letter in some cases, just to learn more details about the movie? As what text is there, appears and disappears far too quickly to readily make sense of it, in my experience.

It is an interesting idea to have the tas information in the tas itself, but there should also have text in the description. The practicality and readability is lacking here. Every new description edit would require a new encode. Many times the text is covered up with animals. The single letter changing can be hard to put together into words. Non English speakers cannot use a translation tool for this to understand. This is also more time consuming to have to watch the tas to acquire information about the tas rather than some text. If you had links in the tas I must have missed them, but that too is an issue since people cannot just click a link but have to manually copy it.

First off, I don't think the TAS itself is worse or not interesting to watch. It looks fine. However, I do agree with others about comments you provided in the movie. I kind of understand your idea there, but that is not enough. I guess you can keep it as it is, but at least add few lines in your submission explaining what is going on what should potentially be asked about. Having an empty submission sometimes makes it even less interesting to check the encode because people will be like "Probably this isn't something worth checking out" and pass to something else, even if the content is actually worth watching. I do enjoy quiz TASes specifically because of how fast you answer the questions, so I guess a yes vote from me :)
I still learn more about English. https://www.youtube.com/user/McBobX100
