Spider Posted March 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 Thanks. 🙂 I think the rankings need a quick recheck over given the newer submissions in the 'Automated Generation" topic too. I'm aware @jetsetdannyhas updated them yesterday and I did the same a few hours later to add four missing ones (I just quickly did four caverns) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRF Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 crem's algorithm doesn't appear (yet) in the listings for The Final Barrier in the first post in this thread. (Although it is included there in the description on the download page.)

Just looked and its OK now. Keyword here I guess is " yet " , I will admit it is annoying it not being immediately updated like the previous version, seems a step back. I will attempt to look at that. Top work with the scoring/playing! 😄 , even the erm "A.I Bot" 😉 😄 JianYang and jetsetdanny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRF Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 I've edited the highscore table for Solar Power Generator to give crem's algorithm (current) first place for that cavern. Sadly, crunchy_frog has fallen off the bottom of the league. (When it comes to the crunch, they need to exhibit more nifty frog-like leaps if they want to be restored to the table! 😄) Spider and jetsetdanny 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRF Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) The high score tables in the first post of this topic suggest that it is theoretically possible to accrue a total score across the twenty caverns of at least 39,526 points. 😮 Edited March 22, 2021 by IRF Spider, jetsetdanny and crem 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRF Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 I don't think it says anywhere in the first post of this topic, or in the download section, that the Highscore Challenge is based on the Bug-Byte version of Manic Miner (unless I've missed a reference to which version it is?) It would probably be worth pointing out that fact, because the different guardian sprites in a couple of the caverns in the Software Projects version of MM might mean that the highest possible score is different?

Spider Posted March 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 It is the Bug-Byte version. 🙂 I half thought it was in the file descriptor but its not. Probably the quickest way to fix it without changing the code code (to halt the game etc) is to simply insert the data from 45056 / #B000 from the SP version into the BB version of this, that way the game graphics (cavern and sprites) data will be using the SP version. jetsetdanny and IRF 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsetdanny Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 I've always believed there is no difference in the best possible score between the two versions and I still believe there is no difference. I trust crem will soon confirm it 🤓. Spider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
