I voted Yes. While this isn't the most exciting TAS due to boring sections with mines stuff, I was interested in seeing a TAS of this game and the rest of the run is pretty much okay and nice. Fighting so much enemies also promised long and boring first level, but now it looks okay as well. The game is rather good for LJN, it's somehow pleasant for me, who tried to play it in childhood, but couldn't pass level 2 (I didn't know what to do there). It's not highly entertaining, but isn't distracting either (and my eye and ear do notice when the game is distracting).

I will if it's accepted.
But only HD for youtube.
EDIT: About the run. Is there vertical and horizontal acceleration? You have weird placement on elevators, you walk further on them and then have to leave them later than it looks possible. Also sometimes you don't jump before leaving the upper platform, but just walk off it. Normally it causes to reach the lower floor later due to lack of vertical acceleration. Is it the case here? Isn't it faster to start walking before the electric wall disappears, do you gain any speed so?

I've read 2 posts by gamedirector so far and I feel exactly like this:

I guess for those we may use their logos, while we can't use Windows logo. I suggest to use that for this year and think about future computers when they get the award, not now.
EDIT: DOS games use mouse too.

Ah, no, there's no point except the flagpole to start the next level from.
EDIT: Versions 1.52 and 1.72 (along with Steam version) have totally different 8th levels. In older version it keeps everting randomly by itself, in later versions you evert and the level itself is different. And it loops the rooms if not everted properly.
EDIT 2:

You should see if you can reproduce it and find out whether there are any other uses for it.
You get warped up if you are at the point where some obstacle block appears after eversion. Reproduced each time you place yourself well and get good randomness.

Can anyone please encode these movies? The game crashed when I tried to play them back. May that be caused by another Hourglass version?

go back to the title and re-select level
Oh, this shall work in EVERY level!
I don't know what you mean by "letters", so I'm guessing that's a new feature in the paid version.
Yes, and watch the vid I posted.

Yeah, the quasi-randomness in level 8 means there are different ways to finish each room, and that affects the room you see next. You change the forthcoming room by using different eversion points. Also, collecting all gems and letters might be interesting to challenge, the last letter appears only on a recent layer on level 8. And to access level 8 you need all gems.
EDIT: Hmmm, I think after you finish level 7 the game window closes or something like that. Is it correct?

Ты без тасэдита работаешь чтоль? В нем и удобнее, и назад можно отматывать. В нем ты сохраняешь проект и потом просто открываешь его снова.
А старым способом вот: запустил мувик свой вчерашний, домотел до места, с которого хочешь продолжить запись, поставил на паузу, сделал сэйв. Переключился в режим Read+Write (кнопка Q) и загрузил этот сэйв. Все, ты продолжаешь запись.

Ну убили тебя и ты возрождаешься неуязвимым временно. И мигаешь. Частота разная. В виртуалдабе смотришь, какая частота мигания. Если через кадр, то при конвертации в 30 фпс у тебя пропадет мигание. Как здесь

Video - Filters - Add - Resize: выбираешь Filter mode Nearest neighbour и коэфициэнт растяжения 300% или 400%.
Потом Video - Frame rate - Conver to fps: 30 (если в видео есть мелькания через кадр, то выставляй 24).
Video - Compression - Xvid MPEG 4; Configure - Target quantizer влево.
File - Save as AVI.

The amount of times you played the game helps only to find a better strategy, to plan your route better. But it doesn't help to make a perfect TAS. You just dive your mind into the game's physics, items, enemies, movements, find necessary RAM values (health, speed, enemies' health) and think about every second of the run (except only the sections where you just run right). You shall test different ways to jump onto a platform, it may be possible to find a way to speed yourself up, like Aglar finds in such places. You shall test wether simultanius pressings of LEFT+RIGHT or UP+DOWN do anything anywhere, try pressing a button every other frame (for example RUN button, but any other may appear to cause some glitch). And you shall TAS each level at least twice, to be sure you didn't miss any timesaver, especially not obvious one.
To get an idea of how to TAS precisely, read AnS' articles in Russian.

Это единственный разумный вариант. Потом при желании можно растянуть размер кадра в виртуалдабе. Надо инструкцию?
