Recreating Super Mario Bros. speedruns FlibidyDibidy 2023-09-21 | We are updating the visual leaderboard from two years ago now that Niftski got a mid 4:54 (this video: youtube.com/watch?v=Bu_18ErV5sM), because it will be really neat to see him ahead of everyone else for half of the run.The easiest way to support my content is via ko-fi: ko-fi.com/flibidydibidyBut we need your help recreating speedruns as TASes! This video shows you how to do it.

What we need to do to save the project FlibidyDibidy 2023-09-07 | If this project is going to succeed then we need to make big changes. I talk about some of those changes in this video.

The Future of Live NES Speedrunning Competitions? FlibidyDibidy 2022-08-26 | This has taken me far too long! But it's up and running. Two consoles with all the information being extracted and combined on the computer live and 'perfectly.' What a crazy project.This marks a very important milestone which is both exciting and scary. Exciting because I've been able to overcome many technical challenges to get to this point, and it's fun to reach this point. But scary because there are a lot of social and organizational challenges still remaining if we want to get this towards my current vision. Sometimes I feel like I should have just made an indie game with my hobby time - because then I could just get people to download it or something. But I've made something inherently 'multiplayer,' so to speak, that requires me interacting with other people!? oh no.. :-)If you have ideas, thoughts, whatever. Email me at flibidydibidy@gmail.com , or put it in the comments, or join the discord. discord.gg/kpYYyw8B5PHappy to hear from you if you are interested in helping in any way! Please feel free to leave any thoughts, suggestions or comments down below too.I hope all is well with you and yours.
The NES talks to the computer now! FlibidyDibidy 2022-05-06 | On the journey to combine the output of multiple consoles together to support LIVE and EXCITING speedrunning races we have hit a major milestone. The console can talk to the computer now!If you have ideas, thoughts, whatever. Email me at flibidydibidy@gmail.com , or put it in the comments, or join the discord. discord.gg/kpYYyw8B5PIf all goes well next video should be two consoles playing simultaneously and everything combined together! Would love to hear from an electrical engineer that knows what the heck they are doing, because an operations research guy like me is a bit out of their depth. - But having a ton of fun!

The time invested, the knowledge, the community! We developed this video to highlight all of them and show Every Sub-Five runner in SMB1. There is so much to see on every frame, you might need to slow it down :-) Love to the entire speedrunning community!And yes, I appreciate that "The Speedrunning Community" extends far beyond SMB1 any% to all kinds of different games and categories - I'd love to see this tech expanded to other games, categories, and communities.A group project with over 100 unique contributors around the globe from the FlibidyDibidy Discord Server: discord.gg/kpYYyw8B5PWe combined 275 speedruns from speedrun.com/smb1 into one single video!

All future talk will be via discord, that is the best way for me to coordinate the rest of my life and this small video making facet.vvvvv The updateHello @everyone! Please see the video and read below for an update on the project: youtu.be/O8xciaMi4xkThe deadline for submitting new runs to speedrun.com will be **October 15th, 2021 at midnight**. After this point I will lock the dataset with only very minimal changes in extraordinary circumstances. There will be some time following this to continue TASing, and for me to export the final combination and do some minimal editing / commentary. The current plan is to release the final video on or around **October 31st, 2021**.**PLEASE help TAS some runs!** Go to call-to-action-announcements . I really want to do all of the members of the discord's runs, and everyone who has helped with the neural networks, and of course the super speedy ones.**Thank you gifts** will be available to everyone who has helped. Three levels of thanks depending on your effort: 1) Inclusion in the credits, and a hand written thank you letter. 2) The letter and a small gift. 3) Everything from before and a copy of the ultimate data viz poster. I'm really excited about this poster. It's going to be an homage to a very famous data visualization from an old French civil engineer, and I think it's going to look amazing. I'm hoping to make it available basically at cost for anyone who wants it, and free for those who help substantially with the final project!Let's push through with as many TAS recreations as possible. Let's do it!!Thank you!
Input data FlibidyDibidy 2021-09-10 | Approximately 1% of the input data for our upcoming video.

If you're here at this video, then you probably care at least a little bit about the math / code / and the actual mechanics of making these kinds of videos / the future of this technology.I think there are ways I can share the development in a realistic way that works for me, which at least for now is in somewhat unpolished short videos like this one.
The Unseen Side of Speedrunning - How it was made FlibidyDibidy 2021-07-02 | A follow-up companion to: youtube.com/watch?v=X_eXSzyZudMI have so much more I could talk about, but who really has the patience for that? This video is already 14 minutes long. I'll answer more questions in the comments then, and in the description.It's all c++, I used torchlib, opencv, dear imgui, and sqlite. Every single line of code was written in VIM!Shoutout to doppelganger (among others) for his disassembly of smb. This blog post from a fellow Matthew: matthewearl.github.io/2018/06/28/smb-level-extractor/. To Tom7 who may, in fact, be a personal hero of mine.

I recorded 193 hours of attempts (and practice) on an original 1985 nintendo entertainment system - then I wrote a custom computer program to process those videos and combine them via machine learning and conventional image processing techniques.Support via ko-fi: ko-fi.com/flibidydibidy*HERE IS A LINK TO THE 'How it's made / Director's commentary': youtube.com/watch?v=iHiHxK2-3-UMy final time was 4:58.941 That puts me in the top 150 on the leaderboard: speedrun.com/smb1 but hey maybe a sequel once I learn how to do 8-4 better and pull off the ol' bullet bill glitch :-).I originally thought this wouldn't be that bad of a project: cool idea, couple months, done. But this challenged me in tremendous ways. It's done now, and it's cool to watch 193 hours of struggling (plus many, many times that developing, debugging, editing, and processing the videos) in just 5 minutes. But this was not easy to do. For instance; when you have 41 million frames - even if something takes only one second - you're looking at well over a year of computer time alone. Most frames were processed in much less than a second, but some had to be done by hand to train the system and oh man I could go on forever on how it was made.I've also have the idea to make this system work LIVE to combine multiple runners into a real race. Stick around if you're interested in that ;)

This video combines the top 3 world records - at the time the video was made - along with the Human Theory TAS from Maru. I've had to use a lot of machine learning, image processing, and development to get to this point.

Where in the Mushroom Kingdom is Mario? FlibidyDibidy 2021-01-17 | Making progress on the automated system for interpreting and ultimately combining multiple video streams of Super Mario Bros. This video is about the part of the system that can tell you WHERE the screen is scrolled to within the game. World / Area (Like 1-1), the Area Pointer (Over world section / coin cache?) and ultimately the actual screen's x location.I also show a live demo of the annotated view. Progress! I appreciate all your comments and thoughts below :-) Ideas would be cool too!
