    Man I can't wait to kick Doug's butt next week in Double Dragon 2!



    Oh wait, I can hardly beat it on normal mode ... nevermind  



    I know that Bimmy and arnpoly can both break the 160k mark, so I'm sure there will be some really high scores. I can usually hit 164k-164.5k unless I just make a mistake. From what I've been able to tell, it's likely possible to legitimately hit 165k+, but I've never had the patience to do the math.



     
  • Hey all, I was planning to do some "cutting room floor" style score research on Life Force today. Would anyone be interested in seeing the process? I'd be happy to broadcast to Twitch for all to see!

  • I am going to take a look at it today as well, after I get drunk past the point of wardrobe accidents.

    Today was extremely shitty and stressful. Last thing I want to do is to look into more code after spending a good deal of my day coding. Marble Madness and 6502 ASM will have to wait till tomorrow.
  • Cool! Well, I'll be starting in the next 5 minutes, so here's my Twitch so you can watch if you're around!

    There's gotta be something there.

    I am in the process of getting freaking drunk so I can read ram better.

    I am not getting anywhere close to any place with a live chat going on. That is how embarassing, reputation damaging things happen!
  • just kill the first arm over and over.... youll see its random
  • It is likely tied to a f(x) where x is the current game tick.

    You think it's tied to having a certain number in a certain digit column?

    when you kill the first arm you always have the same score. if you killed all tge saucers.

    I'm just thinking of something similar to Gradius. I can't remember the trick,but there was a way to get a powered up laser if a certain digits place had a certain number in it.
  • So far, the 1st arm always gave me 2K points.

    Tried to wait for different frame counts and what not. But I killed them with lasers.

    I will try to use ripple and see if it changes.

    I think ripple only gives you 1k.



    Also I have gotten 2k for killing the arms with missiles. It doesn't happen often. Maybe 1 run out of 20-25?

    i have tested the first arm w the basic weapon and get 1-4k. i will say your "game tick" theory raised my eye because when i get 4k from that first arm it....idk..."feels" good. like i knew i hit the honey hole or felt like the timing was the same as the last time i got 4k out of it....



     
  • I will say the easiest way to target this variance is to target the snake. You either get 5k or 10k and both seem to happen often.
  • i think timing might be the answer to the "random".
  • i tested that first arm for a day. took all variables out. it was just me and that arm over and over and over..... different results all day.



    all i got out of it (just me and the game) was it "feels" right when i get 4k from it. lol.
  • You guys sure are putting in a lot of effort into this considering the game has a busted scoring system and easily exploitable point farming.
  • So far I only got 2K from those arms. I will try the 1st one with basic weapon again.

    I am using the laser, and that can be screwing my results.

    I think you're talking through your ass here man. The rules prevent any 'infinite' way to score by restricting the number of loops allowed and forbidding pression points in about the only spot in the game where you can farm forever. Naturally, not killing Zelo's heart = run is over.
