i'm making a next gen open world roguelike with a persistent world. elevator pitch impossible, but: politics-first world building, generated aristocrats, peasant revolts, combat and noncombat playstyles. emphasis on lo fi, high art procedural generation. #PitchYaGame

The Mario game that can be beaten the fastest is Super Mario Bros. 3, which can be completed in 19 frames, or 0.316 seconds, by pressing buttons very quickly during startup to execute unintended code. Below is every frame from starting up the game to finishing it.

IMO, Jeff Tupper's paper in which this example occurs is actually very nice: dgp.toronto.edu/~mooncake/pa… (and he didn't call it self-referential of course) And I still don't know of a substitute for his excellent GrafEq software; I still run it under Wine: peda.com/grafeq/gallery/rogu…

Plant dyes - all the colours achievable from leaf, flower and root within around a five mile radius. The red hot poker root was a gift from a friend on Skye but that’s only several miles across the water…
