You do realize that exploiting glitches in SM is usually more difficult than playing the game normally. It's not just a matter of knowing what to do, it's being able to do it. Now there are obviously many exceptions to this analysis, such as using the crystal flash to enter the passage below Spore Spawn from the wrong direction. But I'd say making game progress depend upon glitches is just asking for trouble given that the general population who may download this will not always know about the glitches.

Sequence breaking is better when it appears to be an accidental oversight.

Actually, I was being facetious about the "shinespark" (blech) thing. Me and Zem decided a better name would be the Flash Charge, after almost 30 minutes of debate, a few months ago. You can adopt the term if you want to.

I will not be satisfied until Samus goes insane and her new Metroid instincts cause her to feed upon the life of the galaxy. She will be the unstoppable!

I don't like the idea of holding X and then pushing a direction to switch beams, (though I am opposed to single beams in general), for how are you supposed to switch beams while moving then? One of the great things about super metroid is that it is very unrestrictive of one action restricting another, except in obvious cases.

If you all are looking for features that are found in Fusion or Zero Mission, such as the auto run, why not just hack those games? In fact, according to Jigglysaint, I think they're actually much easier to hack, you'd just need to make an editor.

As far as using singleton beams, it would actually make the game less strategic. Say you design a puzzle that requires ice + wave combo, but which plasma would ruin if you added it. Stuff like that. You couldn't so something like that if you restricted to just one beam. In addition, bosses HP would have to be scaled down b/c the only beam that does anything near significant damage on its own is the Plasma beam.

I find it funny that I hijacked my own thread :O

anyways sum(1,n²) =

1 + 2² + ... + n² =

1
1 + 3
1 + 3 + 5
...
1 + 3 + 5 ... + (2n-1)

= sum(from k=1 to k=n, (n+1-k)(2k-1))

which you can evaluate out in terms of the sums of integers, rather than squares.

Napkins lol. Nope, but I used to, hence the name.

Well, screw the folks for living on the coast either way. The sea is a dangerous friend. But somewhere along the line I read that an increase in temperature will adversely affect rainfall patterns. Areas that were previously temperate with a reasonable amount of rainfall (America, Europe, I guess, maybe other places), would suffer extended droughts for years. Even though Canada and the US would heat up, rainfall would be practically nonexistent. The precipitation would shift to other areas of the globe.

Lol, for a second I thought Legion had hacked in a new thread or something. But yeah Nirvana was a kickass band for its time. I just wish wherever I go they would play less "Smells like teen spirit." They have other songs, people.

wha? I don't believe that. 300,000 pts seems a bit too steep.

I got 30,000 at max and that was with the square owning almost the whole screen. Or maybe you played a nonbugged version or something. This guy seems to have all kinds of bugs in his game. The shrink items don't do anything, I was hitting them rapid fire and got no visible effect. And sometimes if you play, for some reason it starts off the red box being really fast, so that it's nearly impossible to get past 300 pts. You have to reload the game in your browser if that happens.

edit: and if you don't believe me, he even acknowledges several fixed bugs in his instructions.

edit2: hmm weird. I got 300000 too. But I didn't seem to do much better for this than that.
