The RTA has made some progress with this game,
32:31.
So I'm going to update mine as well.
I need to add ship glitch and status glitch (no more time lord).
I'm going to add a lit dungeon, so that will be a little more entertaining.
Final battle will be a missile barrage instead of poisoning everything, which will hopefully be less anti-climatic.
I have a better understanding of the RNG, so all the grind battles can be faster. But spinning the RNG takes a while, so the out of battle looks slower even though its an overall time savings.
The RNG is at 00BA. It advances to the lower byte of 17*RNG + 23.
RNG effects spells and the number of mobs (which should be 8 to maximize xp/minimize total battles needed).
The spell I'm interested in is Undead. It cycles the RNG, does 255 damage if the upper byte of 100*RNG is less than 75, then cycles the RNG again; for each mob.
The RNG cycles with spells, movement, and pressing the B button.
Overlap between the two should give a battle I'm looking for (8 undead mobs, 1 spell kill) twice every 256 RNG. This can leave me spinning the RNG 128 times out of battle, ~600frames, 10 seconds. That is pretty close to the time to cast the spell a second time (and the second cast might not finish the battle anyway).
Mob type is based on the frame counter, which is independent of the RNG and never more than 3 frames away.
Mob number chart (two columns of number and shape).
Shape is there to help me know where in the pattern I am.
