I think the problem at respawn enemies time. In my preview video on upper you'll see I must wait it long time after use last grenade...
Mass kills are so fun you can even include it as a speed/entertainment tradeoff, since having so much action will most likely get enjoyed and go to Moons.
too professinal... :( But thanks very much :)
oh my god! I thought only need play to stage 48 and it will end game same example video. But It's still continue now. Omg, when I can stop this run, have tired :( Here's my demo played to stage 49: http://youtu.be/bdYewua_3_w

If you had done some research about the game, you'll find that it never ends.
Actually, that was pretty good. I liked the entertainment choices. Not sure about speed though. It looked like at the beginning of several stages you could start destroying enemies faster (thus reducing the initial delay of Respawn Timer). And we have not even started talking about certain movement trick.
Well, after finishing the 2nd loop (stages 36-70) the game difficulty resets to the same level as the first loop (stages 1-35), so beating stage 70 can be considered the end of the game.
If the 2nd loop is considered the hardest difficulty, why start on 35 and not 36 and keep the loop order.
Then I must think a new tactic when AI changed, how to can make best in my run and sill need shoot to walls
If just speed run, it'll easy for me very much, don't need luck control or think too much for tactics. I have feel I'm playing chess, not really shoot tanks game.
I think I'll delay this until I have feel better. Or I'll try make new other with speed run only. Is it good ideas ?
You must watch the address that the game uses to determine randomness. It will help you to know if you are getting the new value each time you try manipulating it or just some old values repeat.
Are you sure that shooting walls is entertaining? I don't think you should sacrifice time in order to shoot walls. You'd better aim for speed, and only add entertainment when it doesn't slow down your progress.
Some maps I have make some funny images: http://i.imgur.com/Puz4CkH.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ngBxb1e.jpg http://i.imgur.com/hyg5bkw.jpg
Some maps I have clear all walls. (clear walls while speed run isn't easy)
Yes I knew that trick movent. I did it when I make turn on way, that's why in stage 35 and 36 I can faster with example video. Just didn't make it at all
But if make this trick, you must note have a dead frame, it make tanks can't move or shoot
If you don't know how to use Lua scripts, do this: 1. Download this file: http://shedevr.org.ru/temp/sound/battlecity.lua 2. In FCEUX: load "Battle City" ROM and then go to menu: File -> Lua -> New Lua Script Window 3. In this new window press "Browse" button and load "battlecity.lua" file 4. Press "Run" and continue TASing.Language: luafunction draw() -- Respawn Timer respawnTimer = memory.readbyteunsigned(0x82); respawnDelay = memory.readbyteunsigned(0x84); if (respawnTimer == 0) then gui.text(236, 16, respawnTimer, "red"); else if (respawnTimer == respawnDelay) then gui.text(236, 16, respawnTimer, "green"); else gui.text(236, 16, respawnTimer); end; end; -- Player 1 coordinates player1X = memory.readbyteunsigned(0x90); player1Y = memory.readbyteunsigned(0x98); gui.text(225, 117, "X=" .. player1X); gui.text(225, 125, "Y=" .. player1Y); -- Player 2 coordinates player2X = memory.readbyteunsigned(0x91); player2Y = memory.readbyteunsigned(0x99); gui.text(225, 180, "X=" .. player2X); gui.text(225, 188, "Y=" .. player2Y); -- "suppress movement" indicator frameCounter = memory.readbyteunsigned(0x0B); if (AND(frameCounter, 0x3) == 0x1) then gui.box(player1X - 4, player1Y - 4, player1X + 3, player1Y + 3, "#FF000080"); gui.box(player2X - 4, player2Y - 4, player2X + 3, player2Y + 3, "#FF000080"); end; end; emu.registerafter(draw);
Using code=battlecity.lua tag allows to download it right from the forum post.
Ok here's my test in stage 1: http://youtu.be/Gf9fvLgVB-k
Any ideas for better ?
I suggest to start from stage 35 and take 2nd loop, which is more action-packed.
shoot those walls if you wish, but make sure that you don't lose frames (compare the new frame count to the frame count of the fastest completion).
