The rules says "The timer starts the frame after you tap on the "Play" or "Restart" button" Does that mean that the timer starts when : a) After releasing the button b ) The frame before the games starts c) The frame after the game has started ????

The frame the play/restart screen disappears. The first frame of the mini-game

@RJosueCH The play or restart button must be shown in your run or it will be rejected

@RJosueCH El botón de reproducción o reinicio debe mostrarse en su ejecución o será rechazado

And they deleted their post :(

Entonces puedo volver a subir el video pero mostrando el boton de inicio? O también puedo poner mostrando la puntuación que tuve? Es decir nada más grabar la puntuación y mandandoselas

@RJosueCH Solo se permite mostrar una captura de pantalla/grabación de la puntuación para carreras de puntuación más alta/sudoku, aunque preferimos que muestres la carrera completa incluso para esas categorías.

Showing a screenshot/recording of the score is only allowed for highscore/sudoku runs, tho we prefer if you just show the whole run even for those categories

Ok then a mod needs to retime my runs because I timed them using the B method but apparently the C one is the one used

I did it because when we see the first frame of gameplay the run has already started, we can notably see Pou being already in the air during this first frame in sky hop, and I believe every run should be timed like the B method. Runs that have high frame rates (above 30) are disavantaged since the timer will have higher odds to start the moment the game trully begins while lower frame rates (not too low) that are between 24 and 29 might skip a frame that higher frame rates will have and thus winning time. I can't send pictures on forums apparently so I hope you understood my point.

[quote=AfterPlayer]I can't send pictures on forums[/quote] You can, upload your image to a file hosting service (e.g. Imgur or a Discord channel), copy it's link, paste it here and it will embed [quote=AfterPlayer]then a mod needs to retime my runs[/quote] Mods do retime all runs, if your run is verified then send links to them to be retimed again

C does not seem like how runs are retimed, the start is the first frame the game appears, after tapping the play/restart button, and not the frame after the game has started

Yeah thats what I meant when talking about C, sorry I kinda suck at speaking english proprely.

And so for the example, lets take Giancito's Sky Hop run: https://imgur.com/a/qQVyzOu His video runs at 60 fps, in the first picture is the very first frame the game appears, but if he was on 30 fps he would basically have a 50/50 chance of shaving off 0.016 segonds because he would have started on the segond frame (shown in the segond picture) and not the first. My video runs at 24 fps and we can see that Pou is higher on the first frame due to having lower fps (third screenshot)

Btw I retimed my runs (you can verify by yourself) : 31s 625ms for Sky Hop 18s 601ms for Color Tap

[quote=AfterPlayer]is the very first frame the game appears[/quote] I understand your point lol, but that's not when the game appears. Yours is on first input, when Pou starts to move

This is the frame before the game appears, the play button: media.discordapp.net/attachments/847776479030935567/1016429601737691167/unknown.png And this is the start of the run, when the game appears: media.discordapp.net/attachments/847776479030935567/1016429668972367892/unknown.png

Also your current run's times are correct - retimed by me

[small]The photos are from my run and why does the primary colour have to be white so it hides the links[/small]
