Atleast we finally know how it works. I think there have been atleast 3-4 different theories before this point.

Only recently have I truly learned how useful TAS's are for speedrunning. They break down the game in question, sometimes in ways that most humans cannot achieve, in order to discover what the fastest methods of completing said game are. And seeing one broken down like this makes them even more awe-inspiring.

Fancy seeing you here

19:12 "note that down is the positive y direction in flash" This is actually true of all 2D game engines. It's just simpler to set the origin at the top left since that's the direction that raster/framebuffer rendering goes in. You'll generally only see Y+ pointing upwards in 3D engines where the 1:1 render-area-to-screen relationship ceases to exist (example: in minecraft, Y+ is up). The reason more specifically has to do with framebuffers, which are a software representation of the pixels on a screen, where coordinates are actually 1D (an offset into the buffer) rather than 2D (an X and Y value). The transformation function from (X,Y) to an offset is `(width * y) + x`, where width is the number of pixels that make up a full row before it wraps back to the other side of the screen, one pixel lower. So "one Y" is worth "width Xes". This can be further extrapolated to 3D ((X,Y,Z) => ZHW + YW + X) but that's not really how 3D rendering works and is more something you would do to manage a 3D grid of data with a 1D array when a 3D array is insufficient performance-wise (rare but not impossible). 3D rendering involves using several transformation functions to simulate a camera looking at the scene, painting what the camera "sees" to a virtual canvas, and then 2D-rendering the canvas (and then there's things like raycasting which is the same thing but done on a 2D scene to make it look 3D, which is why games like Doom are said to be 2.5D--a typically top-down 2D scene rendered to look 3D, which is distinct from taking a 3D scene and rendering it to look 3D). Graphics libraries tend to allow you to use framebuffers directly (even the HTML5 canvas 2D rendering context provides an "image data" object that lets you "skip the middle man" for more efficient rendering), though it's rarely seen in practice because the increase in complexity isn't usually warranted.

This is mostly true, and good information, though it should be mentioned that these days a lot of 2D games are really just 3D games with orthographic/isometric projection and textured planes facing the camera. Here the coordinate spaces are more flexible as we are no longer directly accessing the pixels

@sage5296

2 жыл бұрын

Likely this dates back to TVs where data was drawn line by line onto the screen, from left to right and top to bottom, with the data coming over the air in 1D waves. Additionally, especially in web design it makes a lot more sense as we typically start at the top, so it makes sense to anchor your coordinate system at the top of the page

I love how complex level one is.

10:36 the pannenkoek reference :’) I’m so happy people still talk about him

I have always loved the ideas of TAS runs, especially in games where the methods between human and TAS use entirely different parts of a game. To be honest, I enjoy the strats of a run more than actually watching the run. That being said, I respect both the speedrunners and strategy makers (even in glitchless runs).

I legit got a red bull ad before the video started

I feel like instead of saying "-y velocity (flash is upside down btw)" and then later also "a massive -15 vertical velocity", it'd be easier just to say "a massive 15 upwards velocity", reading it as the abs velocity + the actual direction humans would intuitively understand
