I've decided to try to make a TAS of the Practice Mode of Hexcite: The Shapes of Victory for GBC. For the most part, it's very simple as most levels have just one solution. However, I've come across some weird stuff.
Compare
this file to
this file. The only difference is that frame 2882 has been deleted in the second file. Both files run fine until frame 7381, when the A press to clear the upcoming "Pass... Player 1" text box ends up being a frame too early for the second file, cancelling out the frame saved earlier.
So, can someone who's better at working this sort of this help me answer these questions:
- Are there frame rules? If so, how long are they, and when are they checked?
- Why does deleting frame 2882 work? Most of the time, holding right for two frames only moves the tile once.
- Possibly related: Why can I rotate the piece at frame 6211 immediately after selecting it? Most of the time it takes three frames after pressing A before more input is accepted.
