To clear up the "pathetic" M above: I was really tired and didn't plan on playing, but had a few games anyways. I'm glad I did! [img] After getting...
Oh, believe me, I've got my fair share of 8 O blocks in a row (in the middle of a game... not the beginning).
I actually reverse engineered the complete scoring system of the first public version (1.07). It was fun, but I really had to cram it in to finish...
To his credit, check out the crap he was bombarded with... A bunch of S and Z pieces, clearly at the beginning, without any L J or T pieces to tuck...
That's the one. And if you look at the screenshot, it looks like the player thought A was rotate and Down was drop. [img]
Nice one. [img]
Well, that video is the most impressive one I know of anyways. Though reportedly players have shaved off another 30 seconds or so.
There has been a TAS of TAP released widely. It's not very interesting to watch, but compared to the real videos it doesn't play very human-like at...
I guess this is as good a thread as any to mention that I reached level 500 with time 3:27. Two seconds away!
There are a few things happening on a mechanical level that makes this possible: Collision is not pixel perfect. The player ship typically has a...
Cool captcha. I wonder how hard it would be to program a bot to always enter lucky "7" though? They'd be right 10% of the time. If the answer could...
No, it's a MAME cheat file that locks the game at a chosen level.
At Death 300 I can last quite a while... A little over 3 minutes when I tried yesterday. I could probably eventually do it indefinitely, but I'm not...
I wouldn't rule out bots... The current captcha doesn't look very hard to decypher. I know many can be solved with a high success rate by bots.
No, that was how it worked in the first version. I specifically remember the special gem being removed in 1.10.
Wasn't that in 1.10? Or wait... Currently it erases everything. I think in 1.10 it erased all the blocks but kept the gems.
Ok, I'm home now and able to view *shudders* realmedia files. There was a hurdle setting up 2 silver squares at once, but it wasn't the same thing...
The Left vs Height test? I don't see their site explaining this anywhere.
Interesting. Having never played much of the game, I didn't know "hurdles" could be used to bring pieces together to form squares. I thought square...
I vote against it. I hate forums with multiple subforums, most receiving no posts ever.
