Hello! I'm new to speedrun.com, and somewhat new to speedrunning.

I love Animal Well, and it has gotten me interested in speed running, because I want to see new interesting ways to play the game.

Below are some questions I have for those who are more familiar with speedrunning and with Animal Well. If you find yourself moved to answer, I appreciate your time and thank you for sharing your interest with me!

1. What makes Animal Well a good game to speed run?

2. What do you personally find most satisfying about either discovering/developing a new category to speedrun, or mastering a new category you have discovered?

3. If you could make a few changes to Animal Well to design an entertaining but unusual speed run, what might it be?

4. How do players of games find glitches? Is it trial & error, or is there a way to examine the code of a game and find them?

And finally...

5. Does a beginning speedrunner need anything other than a copy of the game, and the rules of the category?

Thanks!
