To be fair, most TASes have RNG exploitation, just of a different sort (they do things that cause the RNG to be polled so that they can get rid of "bad results" and force a desired result).
- chrchang523 8y agoThat's exactly what this bot does once the gamestate is known; it starts by repeatedly walking the character into a wall to consume bad RNG values so the good ones can be used for fountain wishes. The additional wrinkles are that (i) there are 2^32 possible initial gamestates given their start-of-game choices, and the server is remote, so they needed to figure out a way to determine the initial gamestate to enable RNG exploitation, and (ii) they had to express the bot logic in a more generic way that could handle (almost?) any initial state, rather than hardcoding for a specific initial state.
