Yesterday, I was expecting to do almost nothing today, sit at home play at games etc.. I forgot I had a lecture... which means 4 mile round trip of walking... and also laser quest which including playing that (four games of 20 minutes) means I ended doing approximately 13 miles of walking/running today. Slightly more than my planned zero.

And it was awesome.

Should magically fix itself when you least suspect it.

What kind of program are you creating? Are you using source control? On really tough problems in complicated systems I usually just revert back my changes to before the bug happened and that usually indicates where the bug is.

RPG Maker XP is a game maker.  Most of the time you can use their way of making games.  If you want to, however, you can change the source code of the game.  I do that a whole lot, as you can do more there than in the program's game maker abilities.  I made a new thing where you could use a "magnet" type thing to move towards or away from these "magnet" thingies.  Cliffs make things really complicated, and in a certain situation when I moved onto a cliff it thought I was still off of it.  Looking into the problem more just said some really confusing things...

You know I was talking about the You Have to Win the Game speedrun stuff, with a WR of 4:58? Yeah, so I did some messing around to see what kind of time was possible (using slowdown and saves), expecting about 4:50 to be the absolute limit. Turns out I could get a 4:41. This means that my record of 5:13 is about 30 seconds off perfection in a 281 second game, which is... nasty.

On the upside, someone else is getting into speedrunning this game and they're better than me. I'm excited to hopefully see the time get pushed as low as it can humanly go.

If you're interested in getting the time pushed as low as it can, this site might be of interest to you.

You can't TAS PC games, in general. What I did was really about as close as it gets.

Given that my VVVVVV PB (18:50) is 6 minutes over the TAS time (12:33), that difference doesn't seem too bad.

I've lost interest in getting my time much lower. When I installed an update for my computer, it had the side effect of causing slowdown in around half of the levels. It doesn't affect the in-game timer, but it makes running those sections a lot more annoying.

Please note the words 'in general'. Specific games can be done, but only if bespoked software is available for them.

The program used for it was made to do PC games, but it doesn't work for many.

Oh man!

I decided to practice the biggest skip in VVVVVV (it skips an entire level, but if you mess up the trick you have to restart the entire game.) Got it consistent enough to where I felt comfortable using it in a run, and got a 16:58 (almost a 2 minute improvement) with very sloppy execution on the rest of the run.

It feels a bit like cheating, since the level the glitch skips is by far my worst level in the game, but time is time.
