The Darkest Dungeon - a 1 in 4 Trillion Seed(SEED IN COMMENTS)
This was a collaboration with the 9c streaker and goat Dropi from the discord.
Hello everyone,
This is probably the most insane seed I have found so far. The first 14 possible floors are, if they are able to be(boss floors and floor 1 can't have special feelings), dark floors. That means that the first 11 feelings rolls need to land on a dark floor.
For any seed, a floor only has a 1/14 ≈ 7.15% chance to have a specific feeling. Therefore this seed has a probability of:
(1/14)^(11) = 2.5*10^(-11)%. That is roughly 1 in 4 trillion.
To actually find this seed, I copied over how feelings are calculated for a given seed and massively optimized the process to the point that I was able to check about 100 million seeds every second on my laptop. It started at the very first seed(seed 0) and just incrementally tested every single seed until I stopped the program. By the time I was done, I had scanned 1.1 trillion seeds, roughly 1/5 of all possible seeds.
I could keep running this script for a while, but I'd like to modify it for other purposes now...
CHALLENGE: Try beating this map with on darkness, or if you're a 9c player, then try beating this map with 9c!
Stability Issues
I don't know what it is with the latest version of MLPD(0.9.4.8) but it is INCREDIBLY unstable, especially with older saves. Opening the journal crashes my game. Using a stone of intuition on a ring crashes my game. Literally going to floor 20 to fight the boss crashes my game. Not sure what's going on, just hoping they fix these issues next patch... is anyone else facing similar issues?
Set Seed Goo% Speedrun New World Record - 24.7s - Shattered Pixel Dungeon
I scanned roughly ~20 million seeds over the course of a few days using a modified version of Elektrochecker’s seed finder. From those, I found around 100 000 seeds that spawn a +2 lighting wand on floor 1(outside of chests), then used another script to sort through them and identify the most optimal one.
I'm sure there's lots of room for improvement. I could work on my scripts better to find a better seed, or run my seed finder for longer. My run was kinda sloppy, but it is pretty luck based and took probably 100-200 attempts over the course of two hours.
