Minigame solvers

[ScrubN]

I got bored of doing locomotion so I wrote some solvers.

Currently implemented:

• Align Telescope (Polus)
• Open Waterways (Polus)
• Fix Weather Node (stage 1 & 2) (Polus)
• Assemble artifact (MIRA)
• Unlock safe (inconsistent) (Airship)

@Alexejhero is it possible for solvers to patch into the minigame they are meant to solve? I'm trying to write a solver for the weather nodes and it would be 1000x easier if I could grab a variable that is local to the Start() function.

Yeah you can definitely use patches if that's easier, seems like you can postfix SolveMaze and grab the hashset parameter from there

The collection needed is generated by a private method called by Start(). The collection has the solution to the maze, which is the final piece I need to finish that specific solver. I guess I was asking permission to incorporate a patch in my solver? If not then I would need to write a bunch of duplicate A* code or make the existing A* code more abstract to decouple it from the PathfindingHandler. — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#37 (comment)>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AHV6XKCZSYCDEVRIB4JHWALXBSZE3ANCNFSM6AAAAAAWXLSM2A> .

Requesting changes for 3 solvers, if you do not want to change some of them feel free to remove them from the PR and someone else will take them.

This doesn't look that good, the motion looks very unnatural and at the end it just snaps to the destination even if it never saw it.

Maybe we need to implement some kind of curved movement for the cursor for tasks like this one and upload data on airship

[ScrubN]

I adjusted the movement a bit and it should be a bit smoother.

I do agree, a slerp based movement or similar could definitely look a little nicer.

No matter what I try I can't get the safe solver to be more consistent. I'm on the edge of just hard coding it to complete.
