    Hey there, gang! A great point has been made by many commenters, and I think I should address it!
    An infinitely long number with an equal distribution of all of the digits is not the *only* requirement for a number to be deemed Normal.
    There are other, more difficult to parse requirements that are more entrenched in number theory. I think that the requirements I stated in the video are still the most beneficial / easy to parse for an introductory youtube video on the topic, but for more info on what a number needs to be definitively Normal, please check the description for further reading resources.
    Thanks for watching and thank you for commenting!!!

You as a human with a console/emulator need an additional step, save the game, but Pi can't restart the game so it's stuck even without that.
      note: there may be additional conditions, the wiki mentions spending all money and throwing all items, but I'm not sure why since there's no Mart IIRC. Also in Emerald there's a guy that will trade your Horsea for a Bagon, which can Fly if evolved, but Horsea can Surf so you've released it already.

  • @raz1572
    @raz1572 4 месяца назад +8

    As far as pi only having 10 digits, you could you bigrams instead, giving you 100 digits, which would allow you to "weight" certain inputs like assigning more bigrams to an input. Like giving B more than Start, so it spends less time in the menu

    • @snuffysam
      @snuffysam 5 дней назад

      I mean, you already can do that, like adef suggested. U can see in the graphic, 0 & 5 are both mapped to Start. Winning Sequence could have easily put 0 onto B if they wanted to.
      Though, that leads to a different question. Even if pi is normal, for use as a random number generator it’s only pseudo-random. In the sense that, digits are the same each time you look at it. So, could a person look at the digits of pi in advance and *intentionally* assign each digit to a button to try and get pi to complete the game as fast as possible? Like, if you know the first two inputs required are both A presses, maybe you assign 3 and 1 to the A button. Or maybe not, maybe you find a different assignment that’s better in the long term?

    Hey I also love checking out winningsequence on occasion to see what's been happening and I'm super happy someone made a video about it! More than normality however, I think the bigger issue is that if you're doing a walk in a 2 dimensional plane (which Pokemon roughly is) with uniformly randomly likelihood of going in any one direction, then you are going to end up back at the beginning very often. I think this explains why the player is basically always at home. Because of this, I think picking a different normal sequence is just as unlikely to win. Great video!

      I mean, you could rewrite pokemon sapphire to run faster with the the same behavior... most likely because it's unlikely the current code is the single fastest but, the "winning sequence" stream is more hypothetical/entertainment than anything else. Otherwise they would use emulator speed up tools already. Also, as you started trying to code speed golf you could easily introduce a bug that changes the result which would be aweful and there's really no way to test if code produces identical outcomes in all situations for such a complex game.
      You can't really remove anything complexity wise from the game though because it could be that pi ends up entering a contest, blending berries, or softlocking the game through some nonsense in pacifalog town😂

    What I find interesting about Champernownes constant is since it is counting up AND the concatenations will stretch multiple orders of magnitude, the digits leading digits in the concatenations should follow Benfords law with 1 appearing about 30% more likely as the leading digit in an infinite string. Thus one should be the most common digit at any point stopped (unless the sample only stopped on the last concatenation of all 9’s which would be increasingly less likely)
    But this number is also (and intuitively) proven to be normal with all digits appearing equally.
    It would be interesting to see the distribution of these numbers at a random number of digits in the millions. I’m assuming approaches a more even distribution as there are more and more digits. It would be interesting to see how long it takes for numbers distribution to even out.
    Infinity is just weird!

    • @ffttossenz
      @ffttossenz 4 месяца назад +1

      I assume it evens out when u hit a number that’s a string of 9s and then afterwards starts biasing towards 1, repeating that cycle with each order of magnitude

    • @mikeallison5549
      @mikeallison5549 4 месяца назад

      ⁠@@ffttossenz Yes it would even out only when a string ends with a concatenation of all 9’s, but this will become increasingly rarer. But the digits will become increasingly longer, so the leading digit will have less affect on total distribution. But the second digits will also have a 1 bias as well albeit less and so forth on the others as well.
      It would be interesting to see the affect of the Benford’s law with large numbers.
      I’m assuming it would deviate towards a more even distribution, BUT it would still skew with 1-9 in decreasing order. It would be interesting to see how quickly. My guess based only on hunch (and I could easily be wrong) is that it would happen slowly.

    • @ffttossenz
      @ffttossenz 4 месяца назад +1

      @@mikeallison5549 i disagree with the longer numbers having diminishing returns, since 1 extra digit means 10 times as many numbers, so even if the number is longer and thus diluting how much a single digit matters, you’re getting significantly more numbers of where the leading digit is a 1, 2, etc. in a row

    • @mikeallison5549
      @mikeallison5549 4 месяца назад +1

      @@ffttossenz​⁠​⁠ first I really appreciate the discussion (wanted to state so this didn’t look like arguing).
      I do agree with you. The leading digit will have a decreasingly effect on the distribution as the number gets larger. BUT The second digit will also have a 1 leaning bias when counting up (but less than the first), but a one leaning bias as well, and so on down the line. So all digits will have a one leaning bias but the bias will decrease for each digit as the number gets larger AND the effect each digit will have on the total distribution will decrease as well.
      I believe it will tend to a normal distribution (as it has to as a normal number which this number is) I just think it would be interesting to see how quickly that happens.
      My hunch is even at 10,000,000 digits like the example adef pointed out in this video for pi, it would still have a significant skew to 1 and away from 9.

  • @nikobaehr3638

    You could map the extra digit to each direction, and have the direction chosen be something like "if the next and prev digit are both odd go up; both even go down; if the prev if odd and next is even go left; if prev is even and next is odd go right"

    Here's my idea on how to redistribute the button weights: use two digits at a time. That way, there's 100 possible inputs instead of just 10, which leaves a lot more room to work with. So instead of only one digit per control pad direction, you can have fifteen or twenty and still have room for plenty of A-button presses and a few B-button and Start Button presses.

    In order to play Pokémon you'll often need to hit the same button repeatedly - specifically the direction buttons to move (i.e. you need to walk twenty space to the right), 'a' to advance dialogue or attack, etc.
    I therefore think that looking for a run-length-encoding in Pi would be smaller in the number of digits, and so give a better chance of it occurring - something like (to use a convention of encasing the button in square brackets, followed by the repeat count) [a]5[up]10[right]6[a]12.
    A really easy way to encode this in Pi could be just to say that even numbered digits (3, 4, 5, 2, 5) are the button to push (3 being the 0th digit, and 0 is even!) and the odd numbered digits (1, 1, 9, 6, 3) the number of repetitions. if '0' appears as the repetition number it could mean 'don't actually press it, or press it ten times). If we want to press a button more than ten times in a row, just repeat it - e.g. 1919 would mean hit the button represented by '1' eighteen times in a row.

    honeestly weighting up more than other buttons also seem like a good idea, because of ledges, a big issue is that ledges give down input the power to erease a major chunk of progress, and ledges are directional, by making ereasing that progress less likely you'd solve a big problem

  • @AdrianHereToHelp
    @AdrianHereToHelp 4 месяца назад

    I'm reminded of Tom Murphy VII's Elo World chess tournament video, where he used a different method to interpret pi as a series of decisions by dividing the possibility space evenly between 0 and 1 and using the decimal part (iirc; maybe it was 0 and 10 and using the full number) to choose which option to go with, then "zooming in" on that portion and redrawing the bounds around that. Theoretically this would work with as many potential outputs (or, from the game's perspective, inputs) as you need, and since the number of options can even be variable you could potentially, with a program that accurately interprets what all the possible options are for a given game state, avoid ineffective inputs alltogether (though you'd probably still want an option for "do nothing")

  • @Rendertk1
    @Rendertk1 4 месяца назад +9

    Slight correction; a normal number is not just a number where the distribution of all of the digits are equal, that's a necessary but not sufficient condition. A normal number is a number where for any sequence of n numbers the probability for that sequence to occur tends to 1/b^n where b is the base. For instance 0.12345678912... would not be normal because for sequence length 2 we can find a sequence which never occurs such as 32, where a normal number would require that in the limit that occurs 1/100th of the time. Without this caveat the fact that every string can be found somewhere within the number fails (like in the 0.123.. case).

    Might be easiest to reinterpret Pi in hexadecimal so you could assign up to 16 total possible inputs. That'd allow you to put a higher weight on specific buttons. Having start assigned to a weight of 1:16 might help some with something like 2:16 for each direction on the d-pad (for a total of 8:16) which would leave seven values left over to split between A and B. (Or assign another value to each d-pad button and split the remaining three between A and B.)

    My Pi Plays sequence is simple. Map 1-8 to dpad/a/b/start/select. 0 is null, just skip inputs for that moment. 9 is special. 9 is a toggle. You can make inputs as "tap" or as "hold/release". If we see a 9, then we should switch from tap mode to hold mode. If an input is asked for of something that is already held down, we release it. 3.141592653589 means few inputs, find a 9, press and hold 2, 6, 5, 3. Then we see 5, which means release 5. Hold 8. 9 brings us back to tap mode. Dealer's choice if 9 means release all held inputs or wait for its respective number to release it.
