Hey! I'm @Backspaced, and I've recently been promoted to supermod of these leaderboards. With the approval of the GSSH Speedrunning Discord, I've implemented a number of major and minor changes to the boards, which I've documented here for the sake of transparency:
Major Changes:
- Video proof is now required for all runs, not just the top 3. I've rejected all past runs that did not have video.
- Milliseconds is now required for Die% times, and not required for any other category. I've manually updated every past run to fulfill this requirement.
- Individual levels for each donut/muffin have been added, with the objective being to obtain the specified donut/muffin as fast as possible.
- Donuts% has been moved to the Chocolate Covered Donuts IL, while SpiderMusic% has been moved to the Mini Cinnamon Donuts IL.
- Each IL has its own nickname (i.e. "Skeleton" for Assorted Donuts) for ease of identification.
- Showing the cursor is now required for WR runs in every category.
- Every single run has been manually retimed (I hope).
Minor Changes:
- Die% is now a miscellaneous category.
- Game name has been changed from "Garfield's Scary Scavenger Hunt 2" to "Garfield's Scary Scavenger Hunt II: Donuts of Doom".
- Discord and community wiki links have been added to the sidebar.
- @Sendog, @Susman1237, and @Dragon_Boi have been removed as moderators due to inactivity.
- Game has been added to the "Garfield" series.
- Icons for 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place, and the game have been added.
- Background image has been changed.
As far as I know, this should cover all of the leaderboard changes so far. Let me know if I've missed anything (i.e. a typo in the category rules or an inaccurate mistime), and feel free to reply to this post with any comments, questions, or concerns.
The Flash PRNG algorithm is publically available in an official Flash GitHub repository - AVMPlus. We have known about this for quite a while, yet never looked too deeply into it. That is, until now. We assumed Flash RNG would be chaotic and completely unpredictable. As it turns out we were wrong, F
