No, yes depending on how much you value USD$500

I think that was just to let people see what's happening. The code runs in real time.

short answer - yes

This is just like this:

Isn't that just, simplifying things... throwing various arc ahead, and if an arc ends up on a list of sprites (all the bad guys) or a hole then change the angle higher ?"

Ohhhh, do I hate hackers in CS.

why does that cs have guns ive never seen in my life?

'cos it's a computer game and not real life.

Maybe I don't understand what you're saying but the arcs just show the A.I. program determining all the potential and fastest paths possible by Mario at that particular instance. You can't simply change the angle higher to get a clear path because Mario can only jump and move in a direction while jumping etc so far.

*edit*

Rereading what you're saying, my alternative response is yes, this is just simplifying things and if the program detects a sprite in an arc it will then choose an arc with a clearer path for Mario.

i meant that ive been playing cs.s for about 4 years and know all the guns pretty well.

I noticed that too messiaen, maybe he's using custom skins?
