I'm excited to see a bunch of new runners! No idea where everyone came from suddenly, but I hope it stays this way.
I've added a subcategory now for runs that use a mouse (whether on an emulator or the [Mario Paint] SNES mouse). This should keep the competition going for those that don't want to pay to win.
If activity stays up and if I get around to it, I'll make a discord for the game. If one already exists, someone please send me the link.
Also, I realize the game could be broken if someone figures out an easy set-up, enters the code for that game, and just optimizes that one set-up. To keep in the spirit of the game, I'm currently banning that, although I'd be open to making it another sub-category.
If anybody has any moderation suggestions, please let me know!
Glad to see this game getting some love and having all of the new categories , after running it over a year ago back when it was just FreeCell and Klondike.
It might help to add something in the rules that every category needs to start with 'New Game', or at least to the Golf rules where menus are part of the timing.
I was under the impression that I could keep using the 'Redeal' option when playing 'No Dead King - Golf' since its kind of a pain to pick 'New Game' then switch the dead king option to No on every attempt, and that the timing would just be based on the end time minus the start time.
I'll be more clear about it in the Game rules. I have a number of reasons I prefer to keep the New Game requirement, but if the community feels otherwise I'm ok with changing it.
However, a change in that rule would have to applied across the board. Secondly, subtracting the timestamps would be inconsistent and provide sub-second ambiguity between runs. e.g. If you hit "Redeal" at the bottom of the second, vs. at the top of the second, you'd effectively be starting an entire second ahead or behind, which matters with runs this short. Really the only way to resolve that would be switching to RTA timing, which I'm hoping to avoid.
