I have made a playaround through the first loops of the bug swat in Mario Paint to help test mouse input in ZSNES movies. It was suggested that I post it here for people to view, and as I thought I did a fairly good job of making it entertaining; so here it is. Thanks Nach for the hosting, as i'm still waiting to be set up with new (good) webhost. The latest WIP of ZSNES is needed to watch it.

Pardon my ignorance, but, with ZSNES open and the rom loaded, how does one play the movie?

One other thing that needs to be mentioned is that the movie file must have the same base filename as the ROM (i.e. you'll probably have to rename it to "Mario Paint (JU) [!].zmv") and must reside in the appropriate directory (the same directory where savestates are stored). This alone is quite irritating, especially if you have more than 10 movies from the same game (in which case you must rename-shuffle in order to watch them all).

I watched it when it was the only the first level. It was very entertaining then, I hope you make a time attack of it. How many levels are there by the way?
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;}

It's desyncing on me (you swat all around but don't hit the first two bugs). And I do have the "Mario Paint (JU) [!].smc" rom. Do I have to have any special settings or something?

Hmm, you could try deleting your config file (You were suppose to delete them on updating to the latest WIP) and see if that solves the desync. Is anyone else having this problem, kind of an important question as this movie is the basis of a test. To answer flagitious's question of length: 3 levels, and then it loops. The difficulty does very slowly get harder, but even after looping it 7 times the game isn't much more difficult than the firs time. I did the first three to avoid boring repitition. I also don't know how many loops there are, atleast 10?

Tried it. Didn't work. I'm not sure what the problem is, unless the Linux version I compiled from source has some bugs or something.

Where'd you get the source? If you're using Linux, try CVS.

Alright, I finally got it to work. I deleted the entire ~/.zsnes directory, redownloaded, remade, and reinstalled. All in a day's work. I like how you swatted flies with the music on the second level. :) Awesome.

So, anyone willing to do a TAS of this wonderful game? Another one which I would really like to see is the old NES classic color-a-dinosaur, even though mario paint is technically slightly better.

Isn't Mario Paint just a painting/composing program? Plus the bug squatting game, for which there already is a TAS, I think. What would a TAS of Mario Paint aim for?

I think there was a catch the fly game inside this Paint programm. Maybe this would be good enough for a TAS. But I have no idea if this is endless or has an ending.

Just tried to get back into this 'game'.. I remember what a big hit it was among me and my friends when it came out :P Random thoughts about my experiences from only a moment ago: - The size of the animation is fairly small when compared to the actual working area. If I set the least amount of animated frames (4) the animation is still fairly small. No workaround in sight, so I'd have to stick with small animations. - Getting an animation and composed music for it into sync is a PAIN! - The amount of predefined symbols, stamps and whatnot is astounding. - I'm not exactly sure how the TAS should work. FODA's idea of just making a picture/ an animation/ with or without music seemed the most reasonable thing to do. But should it be done at a reduced recording speed, so it'd look done awesomely fast and accurate when played back? Should it be recorded in real-time? Or perhaps not even show the creation of picture, animation and music at all, but just create it beforehand, load the rom with the saved data in RAM, use the Mario Paint load function and playback the project? I might sit down tomorrow and try to fiddle with it a little more, maybe I'll get something done.. already have a an idea. :) Would make a lot of work though, especially the composing part!

Make the picture music and animation as fast as possible starting from power on. 1. Snes9x doesn't record mouse? 2. Final version of zsnes isn't out. I'd make a photorealistic image entering pixel by pixel like a printer.
