Bots are Stupid: Stupidly good

Quinn Angstrom
it's laid out like a programming game but it isn't a programming game

Quinn Angstrom
here's what it is:

Quinn Angstrom
it's a precision platformer that you TAS instead of playing it

Quinn Angstrom
you give it commands like "move right", "jump", "hook down left"

Quinn Angstrom
and between them you can put "wait" commands like

Quinn Angstrom
"wait until grounded"

Quinn Angstrom
"waitt until not hooked"

Quinn Angstrom
that will stop the program until the condition is met

Quinn Angstrom
do not ever use this

Quinn Angstrom
you can wait by time instead

Quinn Angstrom
"wait 1.2" waits for 1.2 seconds between commands

Quinn Angstrom
do not use this either

Quinn Angstrom
what you want is

Quinn Angstrom
"wait 178f"

Quinn Angstrom
which waits for 178 frames

Quinn Angstrom
you can micromanage your control down to individual frames

Quinn Angstrom
the game's simulation runs at 200fps

Quinn Angstrom
make your robot dance through the sky

Quinn Angstrom
with frame-perfect hookshot tricks to loop around blocks like a gravitational slingshot

Quinn Angstrom
clears are scored by line count and by speed separately

Quinn Angstrom
I will NOT be competing by line count
