Didn't bother with a screen-shot, because I'm pretty sure I can do a lot better.

[colour_thief]

I was actually even more painfully close with 998.

don't be so sure about that. i just started using my x-arcade and already i'm getting similar times to my keyboard play. and matt got to 666 in death shortly after making the switch.

Ha ha.. http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif
Texmaster's clones are really easier..now it is sure..

[DeHackEd]

I'm quite confident that the garbage algorithm is incorrect in texmaster. I've spoken to CT regarding this one, and demoed it to him. He agrees.


Play really low and make lots of singles as often as possible. You can get through section 0-99 with 1, maybe 2 rows of garbage sent to you if you play poorly.

[Edo]

In TAP's TGM+ mode, the garbage works as follows:


every time the player places a tetromino without clearing lines, an internal counter increases by 1. When this counter reaches a certain value...


13 - floor(level / 100)

(To clarify, this equals 13 for 0-99, 12 for 100-199, etc, down to 4 for 900-999)


...a row of garbage rises from the floor. When the player places a tetromino that clears lines, the internal counter does not increase and stays at the same value for that turn.



In Texmaster's Advance mode, the garbage seems to work quite similarly, except when clearing lines: when the player clears lines, not only does the counter not increase, but it also decreases by a value equal to the number of lines cleared.

[colour_thief]

You'll get it soon Amnesia.

...More of you slackers should play this!

[muf]

Someone should make a cheat for TAP that enables GRS to work in TGM+ mode, it'll be awesome. TAP + Bloxeed garbage + M-roll conditions = very yes.

[colour_thief]

That might be doable. I think the grading system is running in the background already, and is merely undisplayed.

[DeHackEd]

It does. If you use a memory viewer, you can check your internal grade and see what you have at the end.

[Amnesia]

I think there is only 5 players in the world who could get the 999 under 8:45.. http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif

This is a lot harder than I thought it would be.

[Amnesia]

I just finished the marathon 2.5 today, with a level 999 at 10:58:40..
slightly easier or harder ? Impossible to say, the difficulty seems very close in my opinion.

[Amnesia]

950.....

DAMN !!!

shit shit SHIT !!!!!!!!

son of bitch

[Amnesia]

http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/3373/tgmrecord.jpg

Just killed by one line this time..Just one last line and I would have resolved the serie of centered holes..

[colour_thief]

Come on, you can do this! It's just TGM1 with extra downstacking.

[Amnesia]

Honnestly, except the fact that you have to be skilled and accurate, admit it, the 850-950 part with the centered holes on 4 lines really requiers a good fluky game, if the game doesn't give you the good pieces when you need it to remove these damn centered holes, you lose.

[colour_thief]

I don't think it's that fluky. You have to be lucky to pass it without good downstacking, but with the proper technique it shouldn't be too hard.

Passed the OT garbage but it killed me anyway.

The randomizer absolutely loved me to bits this game.

I also got an 80? last night, but forgot to take a screenshot, so I have no idea what the time was.

[colour_thief]

Wow, this thread has been strangely popular recently. The leaderboard is starting to fill up. :awe:

[Caithness]

It's the result of a Skype session where all participants were playing TGM+ simultaneously.

[nightmareci]

My first level 999 record, gotten just some minutes ago:

I didn't record this game, unfortunately. I'll probably have my next level 999 game recorded.

Nice! :D

[cyberguile]

man, this mode is just too hard :'(

[Ai]

Most of my games end around level 550. This mode is indeed hard and you need to put in some time for good results. For starters memorize the following garbage pattern that can also be found on the TAP wiki page:

999 @ 11:28:20 (first completion)
A little randomizer luck and smart sub-20G play helped me out here. My previous runs tended to end around 670-850 due to mistakes or simply garbaging out.

[Caithness]

Wow, I'm a little jealous. It took me about a year to get this:

It was a cool and quiet game, usually this mode feels a lot harder.
Basically TGM+ requires you to be very lucky twice...
(omg what a day)

[Ineluctable_Entropy]

My attempt for the contest ended with me arriving at 405. I kept forgetting to post in that thread but since the contest is over, I figure I would just post my record here. Not very good compared to most of you but I only played a little bit. :biggrin:

[GAP]

In TAP's TGM+ mode, the garbage works as follows:


every time the player places a tetromino without clearing lines, an internal counter increases by 1. When this counter reaches a certain value...


13 - floor(level / 100)

(To clarify, this equals 13 for 0-99, 12 for 100-199, etc, down to 4 for 900-999)

http://hiphotos.baidu.com/gap_15/pic/item/d8fd38354fa6d2cea71e1201.jpg
Nice knack. :D
Reaching 999 is quite frustrating...That damn center hole!
In 20G I tried my best to keep the field as low as possible.
I still haven't figured out why the speed isn't 20G at 500-510 sometimes.

[Amnesia]

Basically TGM+ requires you to be very lucky twice...


There is no better way to define the thing..:D

I still haven't figured out why the speed isn't 20G at 500-510 sometimes.

What ?!:confused:

[GAP]

I still haven't figured out why the speed isn't 20G at 500-510 sometimes.

The very first time I tried to reach 500+,I didn't cover the center because at
450-500 the center hole of 2x2 appears most of the time.
When section 500 began I stacked an O to the side,and it didn't drop to the bottom.(Surely,It wasn't a sync)After a few pieces,they fell straight into the center hole.
Later I deliberately tried this many times(50+),only one time it wasn't 20G at 501,the 505 was 20G again.
That seems pretty strange,in Master it always keeps 20G at 500+.
Nevertheless I consider 500+ as 20G in TGM+,ignoring this "sub--20G"(^^;)

btw,I'm not 4th...11:36:36.Rubbish and singles eat time.
999s in less than 11min are really awesome

[Ineluctable_Entropy]

Here's my screencap from before.

Orange GM, and maybe some side stuff like a Big Mode clear... but yeah, that's about it for the main game.
