Saved 4 frames over adelikat's level 1. Now how do I manipulate bosses? :D

Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

Can't remember if I ever mentioned my zipping glitch in the Duck Tales topic. The video is for the first game, I have yet not tried anything in the second. It might work and be useful: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1530526875/CeilingGlitch.fm2 http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/765692141/ThrouhTheGround.fm2

Fun time! Judging by how it happens with statues in level 3, enemy patterns works like that:

Boss actions depend on RNG + Global timer + Player Xpos. So do stone positions and timing for boss 4.

And finally Boss 5 8-frame rule. He gets available only every 8th frame as you enter his room. I have no freaking idea how it works, but $B2 is critical, since $B3-$B5 don't seem to change during those frames.

Add these lines to the script to see the value he reads, whenever it is 20, he does slow flight down. RNG during the level must be manipulated so that he gets 20 on the last pattern. Or maybe even on both, could save us 2 hit points to spend during the level, instead of 1.

Language: lua
boss1RNG = AND(RNG,0x20)
gui.text( 0, 24, string.format("AND: %X",boss1RNG))
