    The Password Game has recently been completed in 53 characters by SimPleased on May 18th, 2024, 3:59 AM EST. th-cam.com/video/r5ub5KaqMFY/w-d-xo.html
    Before this run however a few weeks prior on April 29th, Alex Ivoninsky also completed The Password Game in 53 characters. th-cam.com/video/z8lPuQR54pw/w-d-xo.html However Alexs run was appeared to be invalidated because the run had a hex color of #8c23ff which shouldn't be possible, the reason why is explained in-depth at 17:57 in this video. Alexs run was rejected on speedrun.com on May 17th, 2024.

    just watching around 9 minutes, you can train yourself to recognize a colour that ends in beac fairly easily since hex codes are just hexadecimal RGB codes, having GB be tied to beac leaves only red to be scaled, and that means your colour scales from a teal colour to a peach colour, so you wouldn't have to check every single hex colour, just ones that look fairly close, cutting down on the time it takes by (maybe?) a lot

Then the old main JavaScript URL is just some HTML, I think. Given the popularity of the game, there's a good chance the main JavaScript files are getting archived on The Wayback Machine. Currently, the main JavaScript is named d04557c.js. As always, it's in the _nuxt folder on Neal's website. It's not in a directory specifically for the Password Game.

    What would a theoretically perfect run look like with all of the luck elements? How many characters can it physically get? How lucky would that run be?

    • @SlashedWasTaken
      @SlashedWasTaken  ปีที่แล้ว +206

      I saw a reply saying the "theoretical lowest" is 37 characters because the emojis take up 5 characters, the hex takes up 7 characters, and the URL takes up 20 characters totaling to 32 characters that can't overlap and are required however the password would need to be 37 characters because of the prime number. But from what I've seen I think the lowest you can get is 47 characters, the password would look something like this however we'd need a URL that exactly has "VIIraNe7pepS" in it, which is 1 in 73 quintillion so I doubt we'll ever get that. But the password would probably look like this (credit to MarkoFogati) math-cam.com/video/VIIraNe7pepS/w-d-xo.htmliamloVed#4cdcb3:47🐔🐛🏋🏋🏋🌑

      and somehow got #000000 and it was ok with you shortening it to #, while having the captcha luckily contained in the password already. Also you save the same character by swaping pepsi and iamloved for the same start; so 2 possible urls to work with. Also adding another possibility by using the Ne7 completion you just showed, freeing up a character. I doubt iamloved is allowed to be interrupted but if it is then #ed19** (* being any number) and #ed**19 both being valid for hex at least, haven't checked if it's part of the remaining list though. Also 1948 if allowed out of order should count as leap year.

    as someone who knows how hex colors work and how extremly simple it is, the idea that someone would reroll random colors until they find the hex they want just sounds ridiculous and wasting time
    hex has 6 characters, each characters are between 1 and F, its super simple to find the numbers u want
    also, they are in 3 groups of 2 characters and are the hex value of red green and blue which is how u can easily guess a color while looking at a hex value
    edit : I just discovered that it has to be a verry specific color, in which I would probably program something in python to find it by fast brute forcing

      ​@@oringofekzy2019 Yeah, but to check the new color manually you need to click reroll, use whatever color picker tool you choose to see the number, *internalize that information in your slow ass human brain*, decide if that is a acceptable color, and if not repeat.
      There are ways you could make this process more optimal but the final conclusion would eventually be a bot to automate the entire process so you can check colors as fast as the website is able to reload them, without needing to have the human brain keep up.

    Not having to include the Wordle by putting a future date feels like cheating to me. Because Wordle is a fixed (and repeating!) wordlist that's visibly included in the website code, you can easily (and fairly) optimize by searching for a 5-letter-word that fits (e.g. "loved" is NOT on the list, while "lover" is! I feel as if the "I am loved" is deliberately chosen for that).
