Optimization in detail about VGR's slide spins

Underwater. Spinning is a little bit slower. During the 36 frames that cost a spinning you travel a distance of 93, when pressing A every 12 frames travels a distance of 99. Spinning must be avoided except to kill ennemies or end a level due to its fastest acceleration.

I tried a quick TAS test of the first 2 levels. Saved around 4,5 seconds compared to VGR's WIP. Video

On the ground the optimal movement is Slide-Spin but you have to spin right before your speed goes back to 2. It goes 5-4-4-4-4-3-3-3-3-3, you have to spin on the last 3. Then the next Slide-Spin must be done when your speed hit 1 again. The reason is that a Slide-Spin performed right after a Spin is a different version of it where the Spinning animation isn't displayed allowing for a faster standing up. The Slide-Spin where the animation isn't displayed is the faster way of moving. About the jumps. When you jump you must spin in mid-air in sort a way the Spinning end on the frame you hit the ground. That way you hit the ground with a speed of 1 and can slide right away. Otherwise, your speed is 0 and you lose a few frames.

Gecko how much faster are you in level... compared to as I assume total time?

The abs function in the math library (included by default in the lua engine) removes the signs making the value positive always. For Y velocity, that is the only address I found that increases and decreases "properly" when you jump. Also, when programming, use tabs to change the "depth" of things. Example using your code:Language: LUAlocal AtlasVelocity = math.abs(memory.readdwordsigned(0x02002544)) + math.abs(memory.readdwordsigned(0x02002548))
