Conquering Another Global Leaderboard! - Bots Are Stupid

Bots Are Stupid Part 4 - a quality send-off to the game. I code some impressive TAS runs, and rank highly on both the speed AND the length of code leaderboard! I've gotten my enjoyment out of this game, I'd like to move on to a different programming puzzle game in the future, stay tuned!

I enjoyed this game, but I think I'm going to quit while I'm ahead. This game had less programming logic than I expected, it was more true to TAS simulation. For fans of programming games, don't worry! I'm planning to revisit one of my favorite puzzle games of all time - Opus Magnum. It's a mix between programming puzzles and alchemy, certain to be a lot of fun.

[@trainerthatroc]

Fair

[@maxgoldstein6309]

Fun while it lasted.. can't wait for Opus!

[@masterchief3274]

Can you do some more tametsi, I like when you use your logic when solving the puzzles :D

[@theinvisiblearmadilloofdea6204]

If any of you are fans of programming games, I’d like to recommend Human Resource Machine. Great fun!

[@michaelwatkins4155]

Ohh, I just said a few days ago you should do some Opus Magnum. Nice to see it happening so soon.

[@FinetalPies]

12:51 Love this part where after writing 12 lines of instructions you finally start to test and it breaks after the first new instruction.

[@Smenchevieve]

I would love to see you look into a really hard (for me) puzzle chemistry game called SpaceChem. I think it's really cool and the puzzles are factory-esque trying to automate the construction of molecules. Cool ass game; I just wish I wasn't garbage at it.

[@antonkremov20]

honestly any zachtronics game belongs in this channel

[@goplayer7]

that is a strange way to say "all zachtronics games belong in this channel"

[@Cookie-qu1gs]

Based on the pinned comment, we'll be getting Opus Magnum soon. Since it's also a Zachtronics game, I'd say there's a fair chance that other Zachtronics games will also show up afterwards, potentially including SpaceChem.

How does he manage to be one of the best in the world at almost every game he plays, mans is a machine

[@vincenthills5024]

Less than a 100 ppl have played the later levels...

[@cynicviper]

@@vincenthills5024 Ah yes, the later levels, known for being the easiest in the game.

[@DagoDuck]

I‘d say it‘s because there is a smaller amount of people playing these games, than some of the ‚speedrun games‘ like Minecraft/Nintendo Games and more. Due to their bigger following there is more competition. I‘m not saying Tyler is bad at the games he is playing, but it‘s certainly easier to be one of the top 10, if there are only a couple hundred people playing the game.

[@suckieduckie]

So a guy that plays videogames for a living does about top 30 out of 100 players. That's not that impressive. I even cringed a bit when he accidentally hit the top boost in the second level but he just refused to hook down to get the last orb and hook up to fly into the goal and actually tweaked the last boost out of his program only to declare ten seconds later that it's optimised. He just made it slower.

[@Essutos]

I don't think he could be machine, because, let's be honest, bots are stupid

[@delta927canadien-francais5]

I’m not the vocalest of viewers just wanted to say I love your videos every single night

[@OriginalPiMan]

I played this game after seeing a previous video. A lot more people have tried this game now, judging by the size of the leaderboard.

[@Jester-rk1xn]

Damn, I’m loving this series. I want to play and I want to see you go for first in any of the levels.

[@pyramlinum9514]

The demo is free, you can find it on steam and try it out for yourself if you want. Seems like this is the last episode of the series though, so I guess you'll have to adventure forth for yourself if you want to see more.

[@NinjarioPicmin]

@@pyramlinum9514 but if it was the last episode why is in the end screen still his reaction to the next level. that seems like a teaser for the next and final episode

[@Egerit100]

@@NinjarioPicmin the pinned comment is literally Tyler saying this will probably be the last episode of the series

[@NinjarioPicmin]

@@Egerit100 he posted that comment 2 days ago. So he could've already recorded the next episode anyways

[@pyramlinum9514]

@@NinjarioPicmin Yeah I did say that before I saw the end card and was basing the info off of the pinned comment so there might be one more episode. Or the next level was too difficult/crazy and he decided to cut it short here, I dunno.

[@cafdcfaffafafgwgsghhgjnh3660]

For the “wait until grounded line” at the last level can most likely be removed because of the move left command before it

[@Egerit100]

I don't think so bc then it would keep on moving left forever

[@westarrr]

On that second to last stage, I was really proud with 5.447 seconds, skipping the first boost and the last boost... But then I watch Tyler absolutely destroy this stage. --- So that's how you utilise the first boost... I tried it by picking it up and climbing up all the way from the right side of the stage (off the screen), then swing back around to get all the orbs, but that way i never got below 9 seconds

[@WanderTheNomad]

I'm really getting Polybridge flashbacks from this

[@Romashka_Sov]

8:50 for this section you could just use "stop" command instead of that clusterfuck you made in lines 20-25. For some reason you just forgot it exists after the first introduction

[@grrr-ou9oc]

I found a game called EXA PUNKS thats like this, but with actual code, itd be something interesting to look into

[@dontdoitdan7965]

9:50 is that... An edge bug? In a game about building a tasbot? Oh yea, that's a leaderboard thing

[@FoxSlyme]

What is "an edge bug"?

[@drcgaming4195]

@@FoxSlyme get speed boost from hooking onto the edge

[@pikachufan25]

Maybe with hook Shinnaniganz thats my guess but seems pretty solid but you have to start with a Jump and a Hook and get that Just Right to Repeat itself. but that's my guess

[@cobalius]

Awesome that you can place for code length and time seperately c: I would aim for code length

[@rayandthejets]

But with code length, there is always a limit, and it is always in set increments. For that last level, if 8 is the shortest it can go, then eventually everyone will have 8 lines and it wont be competitive since it can’t be improved at all. But with speed, you can always keep optimising it (well to a certain extent, but the point is that it is more competitive since you wont have the exact same score as everyone else).

[@fromandtounknown6575]

whats that "-tickrate 1000" doing?

[@davidmcgill1000]

Giving more precision to the wait frames instruction, which he has never used. Oh actually it is changing the precision of the wait seconds too, from intervals of 0.005 to 0.001.

[@atomspalter2090]

nice

[@650Redbull]

great vid

[@thecloudmonkey]

Hey Aliensrock, you're probably going to miss my question but how did you get the "last command {seconds}" thing? I am playing the game and i am trying to find it. And yes, I did have the "too fast" thing too.

[@isduck6226]

i don't think he understands the tickrate lol

[@hugrobott]

Just wait until he finds out about hook boosting

[@FoxSlyme]

Can you describe it to me?

[@hugrobott]

So you hook and jump at the same time to transfer the vertical velocity of the jump into the horizontal velocity with the hook, remember to release it. The code should look something like this: move right-> hook down right-> wait 0.002-> jump-> wait 0.05-> unhook. You can unhook earlier to get horizontal+vertical speed or hook a bit later to get horizontal speed

[@hugrobott]

Ps: if you want to get even more speed then try to increase the delay between hooking and jumping, just make sure you jump before the hook connects

[@FoxSlyme]

@@hugrobott Ah, so it's basically jumping around some point on the floor?

[@drcgaming4195]

@@hugrobott from start: -tickrate 1000 hook down right (depends on which way ur going) wait 11f jump wait 50f unhook should launch you as fast as possible to the right from the starting position. for you to chain these, you need to jump as soon as you hit the ground and hook BEFORE you jump. if you do it right, the very next frame after you jump you should hook. you can change the time scale and check your velocity in settings if you want.

[@rogercruz1547]

you can wait frames as in: wait 30f will make it wait 30 frames

[@drcgaming4195]

-tickrate 1000 also gives more precision

[@aceathor]

Do you need to " wait " ? You can't " move right 0.5 "...? Or it make you go right at a speed of 0.5 ? Or " move right during 0.5 "

[@drcgaming4195]

i wonder when tyler is gonna find out he can get INSANE speed boosts when he moves right grapples down, waits 11 frames exactly (1000 tickrate obviously) and then jumps from the start position surely he looks at the leaderboards so he can see my name ;)

Heyo \[T]/

[@Lyoishi]

Doesn't look very fun for me personally, maybe if you could "play" the level and it autowrites the code, then you modify the TAS code to perfection.

[@drcgaming4195]

wouldnt work. jumping and hooking to increase your speed is impossible for humans

[@katteisace4563]

@@drcgaming4195 speed runners exist and do shit harder than this daily

[@drcgaming4195]

@@katteisace4563 no they dont? in this instance, one frame is equal to one one-thousandth of a second. im talking moving right, hooking down right on the same frame, jumping exactly 11 frames later, waiting 50 frames i think, releasing, waiting around 20 frames, hooking down right again at such a perfect time so that a single frame after you impact the ground and jump ON THE SAME FRAME, your hook connects. you wait around 40 frames then release, giving you a massive speed boost. this is impossible for a human to do. if you would like me to give example code for a level, feel free to reply to me. i will supply code that got less than top 15 (at the time) in a level and more if you care.

@@drcgaming4195 it would definitely work, give the player movement controls and buttons to hook and you could totally beat those levels.
