Maybe we would put these screenshots into a tab like this 
%%TAB Minimize%%
%%TAB Screenshots%%
[screenshots]
%%TAB_END%%
That way there'd be less spoilers of the movie and the page would load more in the right place when you click the "view latest post" icon
I solved this by implementing something that has been requested earlier. http://tasvideos.org/forum/t/6394

Awesome work. I knew fixing it couldn't possibly be as simple as I thought it would be. ;)

NES TAS of 2011
Can we have a portable version of this screenshot chooser? May still be interesting to see what the program prefers in a certain TAS one can feed to it.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

I think we already know what the program prefers: :p

It is after beauty, after all.

feos, I like your idea. I will consider it. However, it would have to use a different algorithm, one that requires the presence of all images at once (i.e. for a 20000-frame movie, 20000 PNG files in one directory). The current algorithm simply scans through the movie once, then uses savestates to rewind back to positions where a particular beauty was sighted and take snapshots there. EDIT: Oh, there's one hurdle to portability: Sprite detection. The NES version (and IIRC many others) of the beauty analyzer used to check the sprite list directly from the PPU to find out where movement is located. It was faster and more efficient than to analyze the image, which may be hampered by global motion (scrolling) etc.

I thought it looked for positions that are particularly busy (ie. lots of stuff going on). Not necessarily the same thing.
