Professionalism in Calculator Game Playing
« on: December 10, 2010, 10:27:17 am »
The other day there was a thread concerning professionalism in calculator game programming.

Now, here's my thread of professional calculator game playing.

Could there be anyone who is addicted and does preparation and thinks about Calculator Gaming like this guys?



In games like CubeRunner I am very addicted and bet with my friends I beat their records or they beat mines.

However, I only play it in classes, no home gaming. Also, I have never tried speedrunning or stuff.


Discuss.

I have played TVF more than 10 times and I'm writing a walkthrough. Will that count?

Would that include walkthroughs and strategy guides? I also remember a year ago {AP} wanted to start a series of calc games reviews on Youtube, where he would have a video of a game and he would comment, kinda like those reviews you see on Youtube.

That sucks :/ you could maybe use some sort of password protection, but even then he could pull a battery on the password screen. X.x Does TVF require to be in RAM, btw, to save?

The most professional gaming I have done is explore the start of Rune Factory 1 (NDS) which such a frenzy that I am very close to the humanly possible best start without cheating. Playing it on emulator is better because you don't need to redo many parts.
I have restarted it 2 times but I need a 3rd to optimize some decisions and schedules. And sometimes I forgot to use some tricks like a spell that takes directly home instead of running and at some distances ehen the shortest action is obvious.

I have written all the details about this but never polished and retested for releasing. If someone likes Rune Factory I can post in Omnimaga.

I have done the same for Rune Factory 2 and is already an excellent start.
Now that Rune Factory 3 is out, I might try but some game mechanics changes will hinder the start, might be more challenging to me. And I am also waiting for a request guide that will give me hints about what is best to do first. In Rune Factory 2 I picked as first requests the ones who gave more money for buying seeds.

I have also experimented some TAS in Megaman Zero, it gives impressive movies of reflexes and blink of an eye moves during battles. If you TAS, Megaman Zero is almost a must in my opinion.

Maybe I should try TASing Zero 3, as I've A ranked straight through that game before (which is more than I can say for 1 and 2, which I haven't beat yet).


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Note that this thread is about calculator games, though, not console/handheld ones. :P

Btw it's possible to TAS a calculator game but it can be hard with no convenient savestates.
