The important thing to consider is whether it looks optimal. And in this case, as soon as you realize it's possible to use touch input without restricting yourself to 8 angles (which is first shown less than two minutes after gameplay starts), the parts where that isn't used look (and are) very suboptimal.

Unless the 'exterior universe' the computer exists in has its own shortest measurable time, even shorter than tP, it would be impossible to manipulate this many bits in one Planck time.
Not withstanding the assumption that time in the exterior universe functions the same as time does in our universe, this assumes that the simulation necessarily runs in real time (from our point of view). There's no real reason to assume that needs to be the case. (A point of note: if the simulation does run at 'real time' pace, and time works the same in their universe, it would have been running for over 13 billion years. Must be some really patient species if they're still doing anything with it. Or they just forgot to shut it down. This is assuming that they didn't set up the whole universe like some Last Thursdayism-based thing, but that is also impractical because it would require ludicrous amounts of setup). Even if it would run at real time, the assumption that it is 'impossible' seems based on physical constraints that do not necessarily apply in the exterior universe. Really, with the exterior universe's properties being as much undefined as they are, practically anything would be possible.

I do not understand what you mean. You know pannenkoek is not his real name I guess.
I should mention at least that his name is pretty poorly painted over, so his real name is still quite readable if you just look at it closely.

Roughly a year and a half back, there was a similar concern about the number of submissions decreasing. In the end, statistics proved that the submission rate has been more or less stable for the past several years. I haven't noticed any changes to the submission rate since then either. TASVideos is just as alive as ever. EDIT: I also checked statistics on the numbers of movie publications for the past five years, and numbers of "first edition" publications for the past five years. Those are all pretty stable numbers too, at roughly 250 each year and roughly 120 each year respectively. So both runs of new games and of already-run games are still coming in just fine. Certainly you may notice that some people are coming less or are disappearing from the forums entirely, but that's something that happens all the time. The difference is made up for with new members joining in at the same rate.

The whole TAS is set around the fact that money is tracked with an unsigned int. By losing money past negative 32,767,000 pounds, the value wraps around to be positive 32 million.
You mean it's a signed (16-bit) int - an unsigned int would not be able to become negative at all. (Unsigned 16-bit int has a range of 0 to 65535, whereas signed has a range of -32768 to 32767). Both signed and unsigned integers can overflow or underflow due to the limited nature of data. On the run itself: it's a fun and short TAS, while also functioning as a political/economical commentary of sorts. Yes vote.

I have had to split off this thread twice now recently due to incessant shitposting (especially involving the sonicpacker-TASeditor dialogue). If I see even more shitposting or flamebait spawn out of this conversation, then I will hand out bans to repeat offenders. Now let's all go back to our regularly scheduled Super Mario 64 topic.

feos is no longer a judge, due to controversial issues with his judgments that have been piling up over time. I'd still like to thank him for his expansive contribution to judging over the past few years (and note that he will remain active as Senior Publisher still). As we have been on the lookout for new judges, I'd like to welcome our first new addition to the judge staff: Scepheo!

Recently, our judging staff count has been reduced to just six (including site admins). So we currently really could do well with some new additions to the judging staff. Thus, I am hereby putting out a request for people to volunteer to become a judge. We are looking into the following for potential new judges:
  • A person that is reasonably well known in the community, and is in good standing with the community
  • Being reasonably active as a site member, preferably on IRC as well
  • A good command of the English language - at least enough to prevent unnecessary misgivings
  • Must be able to run movies on commonly used emulators including BizHawk, lsnes, FCEUX, VBA-rr and the like. Alternatively, must be able to attempt and run movies on more exotic and less stable emulators, including Dolphin or Hourglass. Judges need to be able to play back movies on emulator to verify sync, which can be difficult at times on the latter emulators.
  • A player with at least a few published runs (the old 1000+ player points rule is not a requirement, but it is a plus). Experience with various different emulators and TAS tools is also a big plus.
  • Be familiar with the site's movie rules, tiers, and how those are applied by judges for submissions.
  • Ability to adhere to the Judge Guidelines.
If you are interested to volunteer and potentially become a judge, please send me a PM.

[13:44:58] <Zeupar> Hmm... No verdict for that movie? [13:45:40] <Zeupar> Written verdict, that is. Honestly, I expected the judging verdict to at least address these points:
  • The run uses an [E] ROM where an [U] is available (handheld or not, it's at least something of note). There are movie rules about this. Exceptions can be made with good reason, but again, this needs to be addressed.
  • Addressing the following Vault rule:
    Vault rules wrote:
    • If a game consists of presenting a story, with little to no user creativity altering the game in any way, then it is unacceptable.
      • This includes games which are overwhelmingly made up of cut scenes, with little to no user interaction anywhere.
        • For example, Super Adventure Rockman.
      • Games which are of a Choose Your Own Adventure story book variety, where the user has no creative control beyond choosing between predefined choices.
    How does this run compare to, say, Super Adventure Rockman? What makes it substantially different?
  • Addressing viewer feedback, what makes it Vault worthy or not, etc, the usual.
I'm not necessarily arguing against the judgment of this movie, but I do notice the verdict is lacking some things that really needed to be addressed.

There's a subtle difference between "published movies must have an encode on TVC" and "publications must have a link to a TVC encode". We have made exceptions for the latter for some instances, like SM64 runs and OoT runs where the authors prefer having the publication link to their YouTube encode.

According to a google search, a monetized video nets $2.50 USD per thousand views.
Speaking out of personal experience, that is a very generous estimate. In practice, the numbers are generally closer to around $1.00 per 1000 views, or up to $1.50 per 1000 views if you're lucky. (Since it depends on ads/clicks and not just views, the ratio tends vary a lot.)

Here's my perspective: By looking at the total co-authors, I'm noticing that teams 1, 3, 7 and Mothrayas are being credited. Now if going by terms of placement in the competition, the 1st place, 2nd place, 4th place, and last place teams are being credited with this submission. To me, that doesn't...seem right that our 3rd place team isn't getting any recognition here (especially going by Samsara's reasoning that multiple teams were credited with that Stage 3 improvement).
I can see that perspective, but the issue there is that it only looks at the runs as a whole, not individual parts. Team 3 was last, but had first time placings in a few stages, so it makes sense to implement its runs of those stages to the final run. Your run was quite good overall, but nowhere did it excel over another run, so it just happened to miss out. As for the stage 3 improvement, I felt it was already covered by the inclusion of teams SAC and TTT, and it didn't make sense to me to credit multiple other teams for just the same piece of input.

I went with adding the names of every team whose input was used for the final run, which seemed to be a pretty non-arbitrary solution to me. My own name is actually there at MESHUGGAH's suggestion for compiling all the run timings, frame data, comparisons, and the ghost encode which were instrumental in finding improvements in the first place.

How was the comparison video made?
The ghost video was created using a set of lua scripts - one script to record for each movie ghost files that contain frame times, position, sprite data etc. every frame, and another script to play back the ghost files and render the ghosts on screen. Then I dumped the video using the playback script on the winning movie. The side by side video was created with some Avisynth usage to stitch the videos of every submission together, one level at a time.

Am I understanding correctly that only three teams used TAS Editor?
A minimum of three teams that I knew of. Two of them (teams 5 and 11) submitted .fm3 files, team 3 had MESHUGGAH at least, and thelegendarymudkip in above post bumps the count up to four. I can't say for sure whether any of the other teams used TASeditor or not. My assumptions are that teams 1 and 4 didn't, and I have no idea about team 10.

Interestingly, the #1 and #2 movies had the fewest rerecords out of the submissions; and the bottom two had the most. They may not be accurate, but it's a surprising coincidence.
FCEUX has a known bug where it undercounts rerecords made from traditional savestates, so non-TASEditor movies have lower rerecord counts than they should have. There are some svn versions that fix this, but I'm not sure if that fix made it to any release version.

The two last teams used TAS Editor, which boosts up rerecords. And some rerecords are not counted, because they get lost when exchanging input files.
Make that last three. Team 11 also submitted .fm3 files to me.
