    TAS originally published on 2025-02-02
    Lunar Pool, also known as Lunar Ball in Japan, is a billiards simulation game for the NES. Taking aspects from mini golf, the game has you play billiards on a variety of different-shaped pool tables, The goal in each table is to pocket all the numbered balls by hitting them with the cue ball. There is also a friction setting that determines how fast the ball decelerates as it travels, with a friction setting of 0 making it so that a ball will only slow down if it hits another ball.
    eien86 ( tasvideos.org/... ) in this run improves on the previous run by 54 seconds thanks to an improved brute force script and better hardware used to find more optimized solutions to each pool table.

      The previous ones were with no friction, this one would have been far less of a challenge to make so it's quite a bit shorter.

      @@efa666 IDK I just feel like I found this one much enjoyable than the previous ones cuz I didn't like seeing the player killing himself a over and over again just to decrease the score rate cuz it just waste your time. but this one kinda nailed it without dying whatsoever

    So I know this was done with the help of a brute forcer, but I still have to ask what I the world is going on in the stages where you sink balls with no apparent pocket nearby. Is that glitch only possible on the stages it was done, or would it be possible to perform it on other stages if it was better undetstood?

      Bisqwit discovered it in his previous TAS, he called it "Vanquishing" a ball. I don't know if anyone has figured out the actual cause of the glitch, but both brute forcers stumbled across it.
      EDIT: And in Bisqwit's TAS, as well, it only happened on stages 40 and 60.

    miss 1 shot for save time, but is a perfect game without special bonus
    btw, missing the perfect game with max score tas

    • @BBHood217
      @BBHood217 6 днів тому +1

      I'd also like to see a max score run, but I think the game needs to be hacked first to make the score counting instant so that it wouldn't take hours.

    • @AndrewBlechinger
      @AndrewBlechinger 5 днів тому

      At this point, managing the score bonus is part of the routing. So a max score TAS would definitely warrant a separate branch.

      Was waiting max score, since the Rate max at 99, counting score will be long time on every stage, plus every stage got special bonus

    Doing the perfects here is bullshit I understand why the TAS people don't do it unless it's perfect focus one.
    It's super cool game tho. Prolly they want to speed up.

    • @Invariel
      @Invariel 3 дні тому

      My guess is the reason to not perfect each board is because of how much time is taken with the score counting up. As the goal here is to save frames, getting perfect would lose time.
