speedruns can be broken down into three distinct, essential categories

math olympiad
unsolved problems in computer science
the x-games

post so good I'm screenshoting it and posting it to other platforms

true

what category is "game that is RNG hell", such as Yugioh Forbidden Memories?

court 🎀@frozenflygone11/23/2022, 2:58 AM

math Olympiad 100%

gnar @gnar11/23/2022, 5:04 AM

tbh math olympiad is also rng hell i feel like lol

#2 if there's rng manipulation (cryptography problem), #1 if it's pure probabilities

SMW is likely an unsolved problem in computer science, as is celeste

source: https://arxiv.org/abs/1203.1895

fun fact: the YUMP 2 level "Proof that SMW is NP-Complete" is a reference to the above paper

this is incredible

Which category does 'pretty much reprogramming the game via arbitrary code execution and/or abusing a stack underflow glitch' fall into? Because some Pokemon speedruns are that.
