When speedrunning moved away from Twin Galaxies towards independent online leaderboards, their use became increasingly common. The use of glitches and sequence breaks in speedruns was historically not allowed, per the rules of Twin Galaxies' early leaderboards.
#Batchmod ableton code#
Several speedruns use a "credits warp," a category of glitch that causes the game's credits sequence to play, which may require arbitrary code execution. In some games, arbitrary code execution exploits may be possible, allowing players to write their own code into the game's memory. Some people, called glitch-hunters, choose to focus on finding glitches that will be useful to speedrunners. Video game glitches may be used to achieve sequence breaks, or may be used for other purposes, such as skipping cutscenes and increasing the player's speed or damage output.

Skipping a part of a video game that is normally required for progression is referred to as sequence breaking, a term first used in reference to the 2002 action-adventure game Metroid Prime. A route may involve skipping one or more important items or sections. Routing is the act of developing an optimal sequence of actions and stages in a video game. Routing is considered a fundamental process in speedrunning. Speedruns are sometimes showcased at marathon events, which are gaming conventions that feature multiple people performing speedruns in a variety of games. Videos and livestreams of speedruns are shared via the internet on media sites such as YouTube and Twitch. Racing between two or more speedrunners is also a popular form of competition. Many online communities develop around speedrunning specific games community leaderboard rankings for individual games form the primary competitive metric for speedrunning. Tool-assisted speedrunning is a sub-category of speedrunning that uses emulation software to slow the game down and create a precisely controlled sequence of inputs. Speedrunning often involves following planned routes, which may incorporate sequence breaking and can exploit glitches that allow sections to be skipped or completed more quickly than intended. BatChmod's list of Group names that you can apply is also far more extensive, not limited to just the currently logged-in user, admin, staff, and wheel.Speedrunning is the act of playing a video game, or section of a video game, with the goal of completing it as fast as possible. Once that's done, you can't use the simpler utilities to fix this, since they will no longer offer the altered home folder's former owner in the utility's Owner list as an item to reapply to the folder-it will offer only the name of the currently logged-in user. If you use most of the simpler utilities (like Permissions Reset) to reset ACL lists for an entire user's home folder, you need to be logged into that user's account, because these utilities will change the owner of that home folder to the currently logged-in user, and remove the former owner from that home folder's ACL list, and from all enclosed files and folders if you select that option. BatChmod is the best tool I've found for fixing and modifying entire user home folder ACL lists (for instance, for getting rid of the extra "everyone" account that can cause so much trouble), since its Owner list always offers you all of an OS X installation's user names to apply to any folder, no matter which account you're logged into while running BatChmod, as well as many of the system-related owner names.
