[TAS] Centipede Arcade (100,000 in

Tool-assisted speed-run (TAS) for Centipede Arcade, 100 000 points in 3:56
With this TAS I shooted nearly all the Fleas.
Notes:
-When you shoot all the fleas you can, the scorpion do not appear.
-So at 1:40 I waited a bit for a scorpion to appear so that the centipede could go down faster.
-When you reach 60 000 the fleas fall faster

Centipede is a hard azz game

[@imdone7589]

If you think this I hard you should try the sequel millipede

[@flarestriker2005]

The spiders are so annoying in this game and Millipede too.

You ARE the GRAND WAZOO

This is an impressive TAS. To create this, are the game events recorded by playing the Centipede much slower? Such as playing at half speed (or whatever)?

[@Prog61]

No speed at all :) I enter the events manually for each frame in an editor. My editor look like this:

For more information, look for the BizHawk emulator which has a good Tas editor built in, here: tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources

No way a human is this fast! That would be shocking. The contact response is too precise for a standup arcade machine.

[@mariodykstra6555]

WOW YOU FAST!

[@Prog61]

You know this is a TAS? It is not really me playing.

Thanks.

OK

[@PiotrBarcz]

Never mind the centipede request!

[@TheRallyFTW]

Dude my ears

[@PiotrBarcz]

Could you let this run for maybe 15 minutes? I'd like to see just how far this thing can get before the game crashes from too many points!

[@wat5713]

It's not an AI playing this. It's a person recording and saving inputs in an emulator.

[@PiotrBarcz]

@@wat5713 No it's a TAS, the TAS does what you just said a human does automatically. It calculates the most efficient moves and makes them. (then again, I know nothing about how this is done so correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it take years to record all the inputs?)

[@wat5713]

@@PiotrBarcz it takes a very long time. it's not an AI or a computer making the inputs, I promise. Look it up.

[@PiotrBarcz]

@@wat5713 Huh, now I wonder why on earth someone didn't just automate it?

[@JellySword8]

@@PiotrBarcz Doing that is actually much more difficult than it sounds, especially if you want high quality gameplay. A TAS also has another major benefit which is that random outcomes will always be the same. To put it simply, the random events are technically not truly random which means that as long as you press the same buttons at exactly the same times, you can manipulate the randomness to always be in your favor.

Is there a killscreen to this game?
