Here's another Monopoly game. Unfortunately for acmlm, I won 93 frames over him and the game ;).
  • FCEU 0.98.15
  • Aims for fastest time (FCM only not AVI)
  • Manipulates luck
  • Genre: Board game
My new strategy consists of:
h = human
c = computer
h = 5 + 5
h = 4 + 4 (Buy Tennessee Avenue. -$180)
h = 1 + 3 (Advance to GO card. +$200)
c = 4 + 6 
h = 5 + 5
h = 3 + 3 (Buy St-James Place. -$180)
h = 1 + 2 (Buy New York Avenue. -$200)
Build 11 houses  on New York Avenue.
c = 3 + 3
c = 4 + 4 (-$750)
c = 2 + 2 (Go back 3 spaces card)
c = Bankrupt
I didn't like the idea to let computer buy Oriental Avenue so instead, it moves to "Just visiting jail".
My original strategy was to:
h = 5 + 5
h = 4 + 4 (Buy Tennessee Avenue. -$180)
h = 1 + 3 (Advance to GO card. +$200)
c = 4 + 6
h = 5 + 5
h = 3 + 3 (Buy St-James Place. -$180)
h = 1 + 2 (Buy New York Avenue. -$200)
h = Build 11 houses from St-James Place.
c = 3 + 3 (-$750)
c = 1 + 2 (-$800)
c = Bankrupt
It would have been faster in real time but wasn't able to get it.
Btw, this is acmlm'c strategy:
h = 5 + 5
h = 4 + 4 (Buy Tenessee Avenue. -$180)
h = 1 + 3 (Advance to GO card. +$200)
c = 1 + 6 (Buy Oriental Avenue. -$100)
h = 5 + 5
h = 3 + 3 (Buy St-James Place. -$180)
h = 1 + 2 (Buy New York Avenue. -$200)
h = Build 11 houses on New York Avenue.
c = 6 + 6 (-$750)
c = 3 + 1 (Go back 3 spaces card.)
c = Bankrupt on New York Avenue.

Why Phil?? It's NOT entirely my fault. A discussion on IRC should have never been finished on this forum. If someone have something to say, talk to me directly not via forum where people can read in hope they will support you.

But phil. What if the remark someone has to say to you is positive? :) edit: I still think the topic of this should be changed to the movie. Which i have already stated was excellently planned.The route to the "visit Jail" never struck anyones mind only Phils(well, if it struck anyone else, Phil did it before you). This Movie + Double dragon was encoded quick, but DD is a very much popular game, and Monopoly is short + easy to encode. I'm sure the Workbench will slowly get smaller.

Perhaps we should rename it to "#988: Phil's Nesvideos Internet Drama in 9:58:18" so it would be on topic, then.
You could shave off quite a few seconds by hitting submit on the first frame possible.

Also, remember to write the submission text on a text editor beforehand to save time.

It doesn't, really. It's just a convenience for long submissions. I do that all the time. Surprisingly, my submission made Movie Statistics. Is it possible to improve Monopoly? I'm thinking about an alternate strategy.

Amusing movie, although it might not catch the eye as a first person shooter would, it's a great demonstration of a single aspect of what tas are all about, great job.
g,o,p,i=1e4,a[10001];main(x){for(;p?g=g/x*p+a[p]*i+2*!o: 53^(printf("%.4d",o+g/i),p=i,o=g%i);a[p--]=g%x)x=p*2-1;}

Kyman: Thanks for the new encode! Extra bonus is that it bumped the thread so I found it while roaming forums in boredom. This is a pretty epic little thread =P
