<div><!-- todo/suggestions for page: Add finished routes/videos. Link the TAS mod once it's public. Add headline times (e.g. "The False Ending Any% TAS clocks in at ...") once records exist.<br />

<br />
''IGTAP'' has '''TASes''': runs played by a program to show the fastest theoretical time for a course or the whole game.<br />
* '''Tool-assisted speedrun''': Inputs can be anything the game is willing to interpret<br />
* '''Human Theory TAS''': Input may be anything a human could perform. Possible in theory, but exceptionally difficult<br />
<br />
A TAS Mod is currently in development by Deafwave, which provides multiple avenues of creating Human Theory TAS via recording human runs, editing inputs, searching and playing back routes.<br />
<br />

<br />
== TAS Modules ==<br />
* '''TAS editor''': frame advance, rewind, a piano roll (one row per tick), re-recording with a controller, "Suggest" (edits that reach the same spot sooner), and share codes<br />
* '''Offline engine''': IGTAP's own movement code running outside the game, so a solver can try huge numbers of input variations quickly, matching the game tick for tick<br />
* '''Turbo''': faster-than-real-time replay inside the game, used for validating solver's finds quickly<br />
* '''Humanizer''': Cleans up a Human Theory TAS by removing as many inputs as it can, affecting the result as little as possible<br />
<br />
== Human Theory TAS Rules ==<br />
* Game itself isn't changed (no teleports/save editing)<br />
* Everything has to be possible on a real controller (stick values/button presses/input buffers)<br />
* Quick Restart to reset, settings changes to modify things<br />
* Minimize frame-perfect inputs (don't do 64 Wall Clips in a row)<br />
<br />
== TAS Rules ==<br />
* Game itself isn't changed (no teleports/save editing)<br />
* Encouraged to use frame-perfect inputs (spike grace, flying starts, turning a dash during its freeze)<br />
* ''+1 bean every time you use a pauselift''<br />
<br />
== Timing ==<br />
* '''Course record''': in-game course timer, ignores windup time<br />
* '''Farm time''': Time to loop a course for resources, includes windup time<br />
* '''Bonuses and transitions''': Time to get from A -> B, includes windup time<br />
* '''Full-TAS''': live time, meaning physics ticks plus the frames spent frozen (dash freezes, pauses)<br />
