Technical TAS competition information S2DaaM

Technical TAS competition information for the TAS competition "Skico, 2 dinosaurs and a mango compete at TAS"

The equation used to calculate the times of submitted TASes is this:

time = (end_frame - start_frame)/59.826098288081

This gives us the time in seconds.
We then round the time to 2dp.

59.826098288081 is the framerate of the DS.


Scoring:
Scoring goes as follows:
1st place - 100
2nd place - 80
3rd place - 70
4th place - 65
5th place - 60
6th place - 55


every score after 6th place is calculated like this:

if place is bigger than 6 and smaller than 10:

score = 85 - (place * 5)

if place is bigger than 9:

score = 49 - place

if the score becomes less than 0 then just set it to 0

notes on Fernando the virtual robot:
The output given by the virtual robot is a bit hard to understand sometimes so I
format the tasks it outputs before posting them publicly in the Discord.
But it should be noted I never change the tasks outputted, I just express the task in a clearer way.
