Hey everyone! I wanted to get this video out quickly so I could also make people aware of Summer Games Done Quick. As a result I missed an error in the video. At 22:57, RNG(3) should be a^2*b + ab + b, not a^2 + ab + b, and RNG(4) should be a^3b + a^2b + ab + b. Apologies for the error!
I KNEW something looked off about that equation *nods intelligently*
it's not like i understood anything anyway so we cool
Really, you could have got away without this message dude 😉
THAT EXPLAINS IT
That makes it _so_ much simpler, because now it's just b * Sum(a^x, x = 0 -> i) You don't even need to bother with coefficients anymore because you can just add b at the very end.
Imagine seeing a 30 second clip and being like "huh, that's some good RNG"
But secretly it was a culmination of three people using their mathematics PhDs to calculate exactly how they needed to do things
I think the math all covered in bachelor degree major in engineering is enough for this
@@phungduyphong3457 The math isn't really that impressive-it's standard in a freshman-level course in discrete mathematics-what's impressive is seeing a problem and knowing how to apply that math, outside a math class, to solve the problem. It's pretty common for people to be in awe of math anywhere beyond the high-school level, especially if it's not part of the calculus sequence, but people should know that these problem solving skills transcend math classes. These are the skills that students outside of STEM take math courses to develop, and they are far too often neglected.
@@147CT beautiful comment
@@SilverLining1 And then someone somewhere just gets it by pure luck some day anyways?
@@MxPokirby Theoretically, yes. That's how probability works, after all. Even if the chance of the video's particular scenario is very low, that chance still exists.

When you make a Paper Mario video for your college thesis
This but unironically. This would make for an excellent undergrad thesis -and at least a decent master's thesis- .
EDIT: See below response, I don't know what I'm talking about w.r.t. the latter.
This doesn't really have enough math for a mathematics thesis, but you could probably do a CS thesis on random number generation in video games.
NOW. If you solve this whole process with machine learning, suddenly you've got a grant and a cadre of undergrad assistants.
@@147CT I only have a BS in math, so I should defer to someone with a stronger math/comp-sci background on this issue. I suspect it'd be a much stronger project in the computer science field than in pure math or even "applied math".
I... was not ready for number theory in a video game TAS.
Oh boy, you're gonna love parallel universes.
@@astracrits4633 those aren't this complex.
In terms of raw math, yeah. The constraints on some problems like keyless moat door at least seem more complicated
@@oledakaajel 'Twas a jest, my dude. Yeah, this is more complex than PUs. (But IMO this isn't really *that* much more complex--they're both basically just really long versions of math you can learn in your precalc class. PU traveling can basically be understood as just being really big vectors plus some modulus operations, and this is essentially just probability (and the manipulation thereof.))
@@astracrits4633 PU's are just overflows. Collision is calculated as an integer while positio is calculated with a float. This means that you can go very far out, with your collision overflowing, meaning you can still interact with the map, but your position is outside of the map, so you don't interact with a lot of things.
At least, that's how it works in SM64, the most popular PU's. In other games it's different (i.e. in PM64 both collision AND position are integers, so they both overflow, but graphics and animation don't render properly, causing some issues).
Don't you love when wanting to complete a game as quickly as possible results in RNG manipulation that requires advanced calculus and coding skills?
Hey atleast it doesn't require a degree in quantum physics this time :P

How about 0?
I know this is a joke don't woooosh me
@@Lance0 Technically you can construct a scenario where the odds of something happening is 0%, but it could happen. If you had a dartboard with an infinite number of points on it, the odds of hitting any given point is 0%, but each time you throw a dart, that 0% chance happens for one of the infinitely many points.
@@gamemeister27 well technically yes but like in a computer case there are only so many bits so I'm taking about cases where there are a finite states as 2^n is finite for all n finite

Still not much though, I assume.
Probably because you were taking stats and not probability

This is like catnip for computer engineering majors.
those popoffs when you find time saves are heartwarming
Those moments are why speedrunners do what we do. It's amazing how much satisfaction you can get over even a small discovery. I remember when I found a way to control subpixels in Freedom Planet and use that to force a zip into the wall, the moment the zip worked, I was walking on air. Didn't even matter that it didn't save time since the manipulation took so long to perform. I discovered something.
I think I know why text calls RNG! It causes the slight changes of pitch in the text sound effects, hence why all the text scrolling sound marginally different and not the same sound directly repeated.
Presumably it'll do this even if the sound is printed automatically, and more importantly, even if the scroll sound is set to be silent like it is in menus.
That's why the pause ment shakes up RNG so much. It's pinging to play silent sounds of dozens of characters printing.
I was thinking, it could also have to do with shaky text.
They need to call it to see what random offset the characters should be at, even if the text doesn't actually shake
doesn't it increment two times for each character? it might be calling once each to do both of those
@@tomjackal5708 Oh, interesting. I was thinking it was the two directions, but yeah
Also a possibility. Really there's a lot going on with the text in ttyd so it'd be hard to know for sure
@@romajimamulo I'm almost certain it's because of the shaky text too, since it shakes in a square (not a circle) so the 2 calls are X and Y. The text is calling that RNG even if the shake distance is zero (default), since there's no real reason NOT to, it doesn't cause slowdown or anything.
If it was for the sound effects, then that would only call RNG when the character first appears, not every frame.

When I first became a fan of TAS videos, it was the insane shit like this which got me hooked. I remember spending hours reading TAS submission notes, as TAS runs got more complicated over the years, and it was half the fun of a TAS for a fan like me. It's wild to see these explainations Pivot To Video, but I'm so glad they have. With the popularity of Very Specific Videos nowadays, I hope more people get sucked into these explainations. TTYD TAS hype.
eww go away commie
"Is it easy to get into speedrunning?"
"Well...depends. What did you major in?"
"Math."
"It's a start, I guess...read up on coding first."
Coding and math are two different things, and both are required for this.
Software devs know a bit of math and most mathematicians nowadays probably know basic coding, but it often takes a collab to do things like this.
And don't forget in-depth game knowledge which is also a valuable asset here.

Thanks Intelligent systems
Watching this video puts into perspective how much effort is put into a TAS, it's mind blowing. Great video and I hope you keep it up!
Yeah, it really blows a hole in the stereotype that people who play video games all the time aren't smart...
Is it bad that I don't want to watch the progress streams because I enjoy being surprised by all the cool tricks when it's complete?
The progress streams have surprises of their own but i see what you mean
Being more involve and knowing what they're trying to do gives the progress streams more magic to it, especially when the streamer is interactive with chat and is takes idea from it. People brainstorming to achieve a certain goal is really a nice thing to watch (just like twitchplayspokemon lol)
Watch VODs if they exist
I know a married couple. One is a huge fan of TTYD, and knows some rudiments of practical coding. The other is a huge fan of the number theory/conceptual/algorithmic sort of coding. So I sent them this, and they had a great time watching it together.
First 2 Paper Mario games are the most BIG BRAIN games in existence
If only my Finite Mathematics class were about Paper Mario instead. Maybe then, I'd actually understand it...
Is it considered cheating if I throw my Gamecube against the wall, causing a RNG bit to flip in my favor?
That's hardware manipulation, though if you can control it that precisely, I'd be very impressed!
Yes. This is completely speedrun allowed. Just make sure that you reset the game when starting the run XD
Completely valid and expected behavior
I mean, I wouldn't call it a viable strat, but if it works more power to you.
That seems like it ... Wouldn't work

I use exactly that to tell me how many cookies I'll need to buy n buildings in Cookie Clicker.
People don't appreciate the nitty and gritty that gets put into the makings of TASes and speedrunning in general NEARLY as much as they should. This was an absolute miracle and I can't hide my admiration for the effort put into this. You guys are fucking legends
The probability of me understanding this is about 0.
0 out of what
0%? 0 out of >0? Probability of a number is meaningless without something to compare it to, even if its 0
@Iceling bolt - You're actually wrong here, probability is defined as a value in the range between 0 and 1, and even then, regardless of what potential unit we would use 'about 0' is the same anyway.
Can’t wait to hear from you at sgdq
i think this is a subtle reminder for me to keep learning math cuz i only got this by a small margin lol
Thank you Malleo for this video. I really love this probability stuff, and all the other math is cool to see being used in the TAS. Great stuff!
btw at 23:57 you say "All over 1 over a" but you meant "All over 1 minus a".

next video: "How i used RNG Manipulation on the lottery to win every time"
This is nothing short of amazing. The TAS community is lucky to have you, and I cannot wait to see your MKWii commentary at SGDQ 😁
nice! I definitely learned a thing or two, and the work that goes into TASes is just as cool as the runs themselves.
okay, trivia time: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask both use an LCG (the a*x+b equation) as an RNG as well, so after adjusting the constants (a=1664525, b=1013904223), those scripts should also be applicable to these games, and surely others (Animal Crossing?). however, every time a new scene is loaded (Link goes through an entrance), these games directly set the RNG seed to the cycle counter of the main processor, so this form of RNG manipulation is limited to within scenes.
TASers, speedrunners and the entire community behind it are the most loyal fans there is for a game.

Manipulating luck crashes Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.
so not RTA viable i assume?
I mean, TECHNICALLY it's possible if you have frame perfect inputs in a god run but idk
If it's early enough in the run, a RTA-viable setup might be discovered eventually. It's been done in other RPG speedgames like Pokemon, Earthbound, and Dragon Quest.
@@discountchocolate4577 All games with simple and predictable RNG. RNG that usually doesn't change that much per frame if at all. The problem with using RNG manipulation for 3D games is that 3D games use RNG way more, making it impossible to manipulate properly without identical frame-perfect, pixel-perfect and angle-perfect movement for an extended period of time.
@@imaginaryboy2000 Thanks for bringing this to my attention. The recent history of speed tech has made me a bit too optimistic about what's possible.
The things people do to shave off a few seconds/minutes in a speed run. It's really neat you can manipulate something like this honestly XD
Me, before watching this video: I wish my RNG would improve, this boss is tough.

Can’t wait for this tas. Really is incredible how much work you guys put into it, I’m glad that I can see the result and some of the process.
I apprecite you and your buddies' work and thank you for the entertainment!
I'm in love with all this crazy number theory, rng investigation, and coding to save five seconds in a ttyd tas

this is actually insane
props to you three for getting this figured :)
Holy crap you weren't kidding when you said this video was taking a lot of time 40 minutes!!! Also explains why I didn't understand wtf was going on in the moment
wtf 2:50 you can jump into the background?!
Holy crap man. This is a fantastic video, I gotta say, if for no other reason than it shows how much effort can go into the most easily missed moments in a TAS. I love the concept of a TAS- pushing the game in ways that, no matter how lucky or skilled you are, no human runner could realistically be expected to pull off. But beyond that, as I see more and more often, it's also a championing of human effort. First, there's you, the guy who puts together the TAS. Then, there's the dozens of people who discovered every glitch you use to skip chapters and such. There's the guys who made the programs letting you manipulate the game with such fine controls. There's the guys who made the scripting engines that let you make quick codes to do brute-force testing. There's the guys who you chatted with in the making of this video to put together this thing here, that thing there, the value of this, the value of that, and eventually put it ALL together into one monumental run where everything falls away and there's just this perfect, impossible run. Days, weeks, or months of work can go into three seconds of gameplay. It's beyond astounding, and I love every bit of it.
I didn't understand half the maths in this, but I think I understood enough. I love long, in-depth videos like this! Thanks so much for uploading!
Also, now that you can track & manage RNG, will there be more consequences to TTYD beyond 2 Mega Rushes?
I was there for most of the farm! That was such a hype moment and one I saw live which is rare, thanks for the huge opportunity
I didn't understand most of this, but it was still really interesting! Keep up these cool videos bro!
This is incredible. Can’t wait to see the complete TAS.
I now have mad respect for game programmers and tas runners for being gods of the computer
Your video reminded me that math is actually something I can look forward to learning about. Amazing stuff as always Malleo
When you understand how the RNG works in a game, and have a reliable means to manipulate it, the sky is the limits, especially for a TAS run where human error is not a factor.
It's amazing how excited you get over shaving seconds off a tasrun, and I absolutely love it.
Didn't think this was going to be how I was spending my night, but holy am I glad I sat down and watched this.
this whole class sounded like RAW anime w/o subs i'm so confused i can't understand anything that all those numbers and letters said but whatever it means i'm glad it worked out.
Something to note about text calling RNG. Everyone seems to be operating under the assumption that it must be because text the text rendering function requires some random element, but another thing it could also be is simply to keep things even more random. With a linear congruential generator, one of the things you have to be careful about is that when using one, the gambler's fallacy is true since all possible RNG values you can get are on a cycle that starts at the initial RNG seed.
Suppose you want a particular RNG value that is on the cycle. If the LCG is good enough, it's not easy for a casual observer (e.g. a casual player) to know where in the cycle that RNG value will be. However, what is true is that as you progress along the cycle not getting the RNG value you want, you know that your chance of getting the desired RNG value sometime soon increases, since you cannot get the same RNG value twice until you've looped around in the cycle. You're getting new RNG values each time and so by process of elimination eventually the desired RNG value will be the only one that can be picked as the next RNG value.
However, this flaw is really only useful if RNG advances in a reliable and predictable way to the casual observer. To avoid this flaw, you want the calling of the RNG function to be highly erratic. That is, you want when it is called and how often it is called to be very hard to manipulate. And what happens to be true about text in this game? How many text characters are on screen in any given frame can vary quite a bit, and how many frames you keep text on screen is something that's virtually impossible for a human player to control reliably. This will also help to prevent human-possible RNG manipulation in general, not just the gambler's fallacy issue.
While it is possible that some aspects of text rendering, such as certain text effects, really do require randomness, it would not surprise me at all if making RNG hard to manipulate was also a motivating factor, especially in instances where there is obviously no random element to the text, such as when it is displayed in menus.
You guys are amazing. Not only with the math but also with the coding. Very nice work
Top notch. These kinds of finds are incredible.
Unbelievable work, nothing else can be said. Hats off to you all.

What an awesome story and collaborative effort! Can't wait until there is a non-tas strategy for manipulating RNG next, ha ha.
Heh, the minecraft community has been doing stuff similar to this for a while now. (Our RNG is a 48 bit linear congruential generator). I don't have time to watch your entire video atm, so sorry if I am telling you what you already know, but was curious if you guys noticed the applications lattice reduction algorithms have to the reversal process. (in brief, about 10 months ago I noticed, after moving a point to the origin, the vectors ,,,..., form a basis for a lattice containing all n-tuples of possible consecutive seeds. After applying your favorite lattice reduction algorithm, simply iterating over integer linear combinations of these vectors near the region where your seed tuple must lie is often sufficient.) In minecraft, we have used this to find rare seeds (1/trillion in some cases), and more recently obtain a bedrock item by manipulating a certain 1/3000 chance in a process virtually identical to what you do here. Of course, since your LCG is only 32 bits, this might be overkill.
I don't know any of the people involved, but from the sounds of what you say it might have *been* one of the Minecraft people with those kinds of calculations that he talked to this about and got the formula from to apply to TTYD.
Jesse what the fuck are you saying?

Wha? Doesn't your phone need to be 64 bit for that?
Dari I have no idea. I looked for a way to run it on my iPad and found it wasn’t possible because iOS isn’t 64 bit, so you’re correct. I guess Android is 64 bit
But iOS _is_ 64-bit and has been since iOS 7 on the iPhone 5S. I’m pretty sure the reason why Dolphin isn’t on iOS is due to limitations.
This makes me appreciate shit that happens by sheer unmanipulated chance much more, and stuff that occurs via manipulated chance WAY more.
This is simply amazing .
Tas speed runners are truly masters of the art of making playing a video game even a greater waste of time ( by oddly playing slower then faster ) .
This is why I love TAS'es, you can see it and it's pretty much spectacular yeah, but the story behind them can be insane
I wonder if displaying text calls RNG every frame because of jiggle…
Some text in Paper Mario jiggles around randomly, so normal non-jiggling text might just have a jiggle scale of 0.
That's something I mentioned in the reply to the comment on it possibly being text sound that plays randomly pitched audio
I just want to comment on how Paper Mario Speedruns should be a degree option for college.

Not gonna lie, getting some PTSD from Discrete Math class.
Once I take number theory, i’ll be sure to use this video as study material
This is amazingly cool that the rng was reverse engineered like this and I remember watching the stream back when you were brute forcing rng for fence skip and wondering whether something like this would be at all possible for this game or if the rng system was just too complex.
That leads me to wonder, is it possible to use this reverse engineering method of finding the right rng at other points in the run where brute force and test methods were used in order to possibly waste less frames getting the desired rng or to get slightly more optimal rng than was achieved?
Not that you will go back and do that in this TAS but maybe in the next TTYD TAS if/when that ever occurs.
about to watch the video - i hope u mention HOW LONG we spent trying to get it before reverse engineering RNG.
I immediately recognised the geometric sequence and I'm now very thankful for my A-Level in Maths
