end If memory serves, the Murder Beam generates tons of lag, so it probably wouldn't do any good.
Also a question, how do you get the super missile? I thought you had to mockball there to get past the gates?
Okay, I went back to Taco & Kriole's run that's on the website just to make sure I wasn't missing something, and I apparently I am, because their run says "38:41.52" while this one is "39:15.3" but this one completes the game faster? How are these times listed in the subject lines calculated, exactly?
The flamethrower has an oddly inconsistent damage output. I'll update this if I ever figure it out, but it seems low priority. The estimates from before should still be fairly accurate.
Also, while I haven't confirmed this, these values suggest that hard mode halves your damage output rather than doubling enemy HP.
I'll see what I can do about finding the ingame timer. That's probably going to be annoying though, as like just about everything else it's probably stored as a float.Another one turned out to be more fruitful, just raising that entire rational function to the power of n; then the envelopes of the normalized family turn out to reach their greatest extent in the limit as n->infinity, when the envelopes become exactly the same as for that Gaussian family, and the normalized family based on 1/(1+x2)n becomes the normalized Gaussian family based on e-x^2; I'm thinking about releasing a .nb file that can be viewed in MathPlayer to show this sort of thing, because it is truly astounding. Maybe the normalized Gaussian family is the most "open" possible family of functions converging to a delta distribution, in the sense of having envelopes with the greatest distance from the origin.
It seems Steven is in to S&M...
Who knew that Archie was British?
And, in all honesty, I think we have the TAS summed up in one picture here...
