You burned 55,242 calories today (10,832% of current goal). Keep up the good work!

[@riggabort]

this is the best comment here

[@nathanpillsbury1054]

i might be wrong but if 55,242 X 0.10832 is correct to calculate this, than the calorie goal at 100% would be 5,984 calories rounded up

[@Ascension721]

​@@nathanpillsbury1054(55,242 / 10,832) * 100 would be 100%. So would round up to 510.

[@frgal1336]

@@nathanpillsbury1054 55242/109.32 = 505.32 calories (2dp) I’m not super sure what you were doing there, were you converting 10832% to decimal? Cause that would be 108.32, since 100% = 1. The way it works is it’s reverse percentage. When you find the original amount of an increased value, you cant take the % out of the increased amount since… well, that’s just a chunk of your new amount. So all ya do is turn your % increase into a decimal (10832% -> 108.32) and add it to the original value (100% -> 1) to get your denominator. If it were a % decrease, you’d take it away from the original value (1) and multiply. So, 55242/109.32 = 505.32. This obviously wouldn’t work for a decrease since… a 10832% decrease would be below 0. It’s free by then. If you’re curious about how you get % to decimal, you just divide by 100 :))) when you make a decimal a % you multiply by 100 (e.g. if you got 25 out of 50 on a test, you do (25/50)* 100 = 50%. 25/50 is just 0.5.) so to find the reverse you just DO the reverse :D. Tbf, this wasn’t a super easy one to figure out lol. It had me double checking since i’ve not done reverse % in so long. An easier one would be something like a dress costs £60 after a 25% increase, what was the original amount? 25% inc. = 1.25 (100% + 25%) 60/1.25 = 48 Original price = £48 There are other methods, but this is by far the easiest one. I’ve seen some that use algebra for it, but they make it way harder than it actually is.

It's quite unique and the whole point of the game is quite literally to use parkour to move as fast as possible from a to b!

[@Alex-ex8ob]

@@emelineclank9448the game is a first person platformer with the theme being parkour, would highly recommend a casual playthrough at some point, it's a very good game. This is a tool assisted speedrun, which means they had the button inputs pre determined and are having a computer play the game, while following said inputs. This allows for a run with movement and strategies not possible by humans (or too difficult to ever do in normal speedruns). The work put into a TAS is a lot to endure, but the end result is always a fun surprise. This run isn't valid for a leaderboard and its purpose is to showcase the true potential of the game, beyond what any runner of the game can do.

Req, and everyone involved in this speedrun, you guys are great! I'm just in shock, I've been waiting for this for 9 years, I've been watching Req since the video about a segmented speedrun in 27 minutes came out. I watched all the Hype Strats videos, and I've watched them thousands of times, because the dynamics in these videos are just off the charts and I'm always mesmerized when watching how Faith flies just across the entire map. I watched all of Glost777's videos, and his Shortcuts and Swag videos, all parts, and also all of the TAS speedruns. For several years I've been wondering if anyone would ever make a full walkthrough of the game with a TAS speedrun, but everything was quiet, I was already thinking about starting to do it myself, but I wouldn't have been able to do it when I read the article about using the tool. In short, I've been watching the game's speedrunning community for a long time, Req, Glost, Stoggervlazar, cratornugget, SilverC, BBGN, MrWalrus, Phoenix, Voetiem, LamboGD and others, thank you for delighting me with videos about this game.

in this chapter, when you open this door, the script for completing the chapter is triggered, in the game you can open doors with a shot from a pistol, this is done to reduce valuable seconds. he Fired a pistol at the door as soon as it appeared in the field of view, and after that immediately played the script for the end of the chapter, this saves about 2-3 seconds than running to the door and knocking it down with your hand

i have so many questions, i would love to see a vid on the process of making this.

[@xpersen7615]

I can't even imagine how such a speedrun could be made. It seems to me that Req reviewed the gameplay of what he did with the tool thousands of times, in fact, it is a script that presses the keyboard and mouse at a certain time. The slightest deviation from the route will lead to inaccurate work of the script, I mean changing the camera angle, position, and so on. And it seems to me that Req launched a new game each time to check that the script was running correctly, and he edited it throughout the entire game. These are just my guesses, I don't know the truth, but it would be very interesting to see the work process.

[@bestboisoupsoup]

I assume that as is with most TASs every playable segment is done separately, so that the work to configure the run can be offloaded to the community. It's less prone to loading times that way as well.
