notenogram - homebrew made with Butano for GBA Jam 2022, partially inspired by Battle Picross by Sean Reid.

There are 21 nonograms in the game, one of them is in the story mode.

nymx: Claiming for judging.

nymx: Ok...no response for a month. I gave 3 days more to ask about any effort to this. Becasue this is a short running game, a month is more than generous to answer the optimization issues brought up. I'm sorry, but I'm rejecting this, because of known optimization issues that could be easily resolved.

Rejecting.

I think this can still be improved. I tried out stage 3 and saved 8 frames by doing this route.

In theory, Completing this game as fast as possible is a matter of minimizing the number of empty squares you have to pass through (and also whether you pass through the same square many times). Therefore, I think it's possible to improve your route by a single square, because it's possible to complete this stage while only crossing 2 empty squares.

"He who is tired of TASing is tired of life" Something Homer Simpson definitely said

Oh yeah, I think I see the route you’re talking about now.

Thanks. I'll review all the routes, maybe I can get there faster somewhere else. I didn't think to check the route based on the screenshot.

Any updates to this? Otherwise this is a shut and closed case. Feel free to cancel your submission if you are not getting anywhere.

I recently discovered that if you haven't reached a level of frustration with TASing any game, then you haven't done your due diligence. ---- SOYZA: Are you playing a game? NYMX: I'm not playing a game, I'm TASing. SOYZA: Oh...so its not a game...Its for real? ---- ~~Anybody got a Quantum computer I can borrow for 20 minutes?~~ Nevermind...eien's 64 core machine will do. :) ---- BOTing will be the end of all games. --NYMX
