Here's a simple challenge. The winner will receive an mp3 of one of the songs from CCCCCCCCCC+. Sure, the full soundtrack of CCCCCCCCCC+ will be available once it comes out, but it'll probably be a while (long story that involves me rewriting a large portion of the engine). So, here's the challenge:

Find out what the frame rate VVVVVV uses is, and PM me with proof/a detailed explanation of how you figured it out. You may not use any other programs or electronic devices, or contact Terry; your only tools are a pencil and paper, VVVVVV, and your mind. :vermillion: Innovention and lateral thinking will be critical.

Good luck!

I suppose, but you would have an unfair advantage, so I'd accept you as a "second winner" and give both you and the first other person to figure it out the prize. Plus, it'll be hard to do without communicating with yourself :P, but I can make this an exception to that rule. You can only use in-game evidence.

Digital watches are not allowed due to the "electronics" rule. Analog watches can be used, provided they do not provide more detail than seconds.

EDIT: And after merely hours, The Brass has figured it out!

You are still free to participate, but unless you're Terry, you'll only get the song if you figure out a different method from the one The Brass used. Good luck!

Fraps?

No, Fraps is not allowed because it is an external program. The only program you may use is VVVVVV itself.
