This is possible in GUI, but not when pasting. Has such thing happened for a real solution?

How is Printing Ettiquette 1 an X?

Lowest known says 7, so 7 should be a checkmark if nothing else

Data Backup Day current size solution is not 100% (FIX INSIDE)

Edited version that doesn't work:

a:
mem2 = nearest datacube
drop
mem1 = nearest datacube
pickup mem2
if myitem > mem1:
	write mem1
endif
jump a

Now, a version that should work:

a:
mem2 = nearest datacube
drop
mem1 = set c
pickup mem2
if myitem > mem1:
	write mem1
endif
jump a

Ran about 10 tests on it with not a single red bar, so if it fails it's way over 99%

is this repo still alive?

New category for solutions with/without features accessible only with pasting the code

There are some feature that don't exist in the game normally, but that you can introduce by editing the code in a text editor. For example: random pickUp, random set, numbers from 100 to 255 etc.
However, putting solutions that use those features feels like it would defeat the purpose of having a repository where people can look up record solutions, - if those solutions cannot be written without 3rd party software.
Or maybe not a new category, but a new tag: Year NUM - NAME (TYPE) - (in-game/editor).txt

Cannot Use Speed Solution for Emergency Escapes (Level 10)

The "speed" solution for "Emergency Escapes" (Level 10) cannot be used in the latest game version. In particular, it is not possible to select multiple directions for a "step" until "Fill the Floor" (Level 30) - see screenshot - using the normal game controls.

Interestingly, it is possible to paste the solution that has the multi-direction Step (it works!), but this is not possible with the (Mac) version using the game UI, rather than "Paste", which only allows a single-direction Step select.

Write a script to enforce correct file name format and links

Year 44 solves size but NOT speed

it is not a "both" solution.

Hello

So I have a solution which only works on the old version, but is better than the current record, should i post it?

is there a reason for not showing the solution result in the title?

Hello again

Should i post a size solution if it's faster than the current one / speed solution if it's shorter than the current one?

Code syntax has changed in version 2231 - Old solutions can't be pasted until updated

Example:

Before:

-- 7 Billion Humans (2145) --
-- 46: Compulsory Office Romance --

a:
if e == worker
  tell e Hi!
  listen Hi!
else
  listen Hi!
  tell w Hi!
jump a

After:

-- 7 Billion Humans (2231) --
-- 46: Compulsory Office Romance --

a:
if e == worker:
	tell e hi
	listenfor hi
else:
	listenfor hi
	tell w hi
endif
jump a

I will try to find time to update these but if someone is willing to help that would be great!

Better crediting

This is not that high of a priority but it's a goal to strive to, after all credit is pretty important.

In the previous game of this company's high score thread, we actually had many scores all across the spectrum in graph form, and in there, solutions obviously discovered by OCD prerelease were uncredited because the contributor was not the first one to get that solution.

yifeixuer got a Cubical Communication 6i score, but that one (though, his solution looks way more elegant :P) was actually tied before. What's your structure for who gets credit? (In theory people could copypaste a score from a steam post to claim themselves as having made it)

(I wouldn't mind giving credit to someone else in the case where the beta tester who got some lowest OCD score doesn't want to come forward though.)

Year 61 - Lazy Pathways (size) says it's 7 but is actually 9 commands

The README says it's 7 commands but the file is 9 commands. Did the wrong file get uploaded? I suspect the README is just incorrect, as there's a 50% solution of size 7.

Which speed solution is better?

the one that is a few ms faster (but the timer shows the same amount of seconds), but a few commands longer or the one that is a few ms slower, but a few commands shorter?

Request: The level names on the contributors table should redirect to the solution

For example, clicking on Year 03 | Transport Squad should link you to
https://github.com/hingston/7-billion-humans-solutions/blob/master/Solutions99%2B/Year%2003%20-%20Transport%20Squad%20(both).txt

Year 33 - Data Backup Day (size) not 99+

I ran the level 50 times and got 25 red bars in total, which means 98% success. Each time a run failed, the pair from the left column, row 1, 2 or 4 had equal numbers. Whether on the corresponding right pair the first number was smaller or the second one, doesn't seem to matter. If the conditions that I observed exactly cover all cases where it fails, the actual success rate should be ~97%

Impossible inputs

7-billion-humans-solutions/Solutions99+/Year 24 - Budget Brigade 1 (size).txt

Line 4 in 7685769

takefrom w,s

I get that multiple selections are possible later, but in year 24, they are one direction only. So I don't think this is the possible in-game.. you can paste this in, does that count?

Year 30: Fill The Floor (speed)

Doesn't always have lower than required average speed.

Discussion about OCD+ scores

Futae in the forums implies that beta scores were only accepted if they were 99%+, but a glance at Creative Writhing's OCD+ shows that's clearly not the case (the only possible configuration is a long random walk). Is it even possible to obtain all OCD+ scores at 99%+? It seems improper to compare (and give X marks) to levels where the OCD+ is not even attainable at 99%+.
