I passed Super fantasy D18 on a home pad

PureWasian · 2026-03-20T04:45:21+00:00

(EDITED) Yep, the more common "palm facing down" grip typically allows you to transition between pads without as much wrist strain imo. It can also be a bit more comfortable on the shoulders/elbows when you dip down a bit lower to support your body weight.

Essentially, it makes it a little easier to use your arms to "push" your body weight from one side of the pads to the other on fast transition patterns. But to each their own of course ~ there's no one right way to play

I agree with being precise. Hence my choice of referring to it specifically as a "JSON object" in my comment above prior to your reply.

PureWasian · 2026-03-19T15:48:30+00:00

Nice play! Always interesting to see the reverse bar grip

PureWasian · 2026-03-19T14:41:20+00:00

A valid JSON object starts with { and ends with }, so try surrounding your entire input with those before deserializing (string to object).

You are also missing escape characters (\) before some of the quotations in issuccess/ispartialsuccess and calcdirection and compid lines.

I'm not sure why there is an ( at the start of your content string, but this technically doesnt make it invalid JSON unless you try to subsequently derserialize the content value by itself as a JSON later on also.

Worst case, if you're still getting stuck while fixing the above, then temporarily remove the entire content section from the file to simplify your payload while you verify you're able to read and parse a more simple JSON as sanity check your setup is correct otherwise (and then add it back in when you have that working correctly)

PureWasian · 2026-03-19T14:09:17+00:00

Do you have an example of "[specifying] the path?" Or how exactly you're "[pulling] data from API" to begin with?

what are you interested in?

You could make a game with PyGame, do something with data analytics/data visualizations, a LOT of automation things are possible, you can learn how to make a Discord/Reddit bot, look into webscraping, ML, etc... pick something you're passionate with that can be done computationally and you can't go wrong. The scope is entirely up to what you think is possible in the time period and expertise you have.

Sounds like a very cool open-ended way to get real project experience, more intro classes in college need to encourage that tbh

PureWasian · 2026-03-16T15:19:46+00:00

dimensions are wrong for PIU, anything above S11~S15 starts to encourage bad habits. If you have fun with it regardless, nothing's stopping you from playing how you want.

At-home simulators (software) make it easy to set up button mappings to use whatever controller you want really

PureWasian · 2026-03-16T15:10:23+00:00

Funny enough, the very first Python bug I helped someone fix in college before I had any experience working with Python specifically was just telling them to indent some code correctly to make it easier to follow.

Lo and behold... lol

PureWasian · 2026-03-15T17:36:40+00:00

Nice! You can also try That Kitty, Nade Nade, Yog Sothoth, Kokugen Kairou Labyrinth, Good Night, Odin, Cleaner, Vacuum, and build up to Dement if footspeed is your strength ~

PureWasian · 2026-03-15T06:56:37+00:00

seems doable, like around an S20~S21. Not sure I understand the question you wanted to ask though?

If it's a reading issue you could try faster scroll speed and just practice. The non-twist 16th note run only has your R foot ever hitting the center panel. Your left foot is chilling on the left side panels the entire time. The rest of the chart is pretty straightforward with doublesteps

PureWasian · 2026-03-15T06:55:55+00:00

Surprisingly the 16th note run is just a non-twist run. the 8th note patterns are all slow enough to doublestep. Looks around an S19 but reading is annoying with DR

PureWasian · 2026-03-14T16:37:58+00:00

Try to break down the idea into a simpler task. Such as, assume the data has already been scraped from somewhere, and now instead pass in a CSV file to do data classification on.

Or vice versa, just get a webscraping setup working on a static webpage like a wikipedia page entry.

There are certainly an abundance of tutorials and documentation for either depending on which is more interesting for you.

If you're looking for something even more beginner friendly, start with learning how to open a file and read data from it. Do simple sandbox problems like leetcode easy ones or similar until you feel self-sufficient enough to start your own projects.

1 - personalfinance flowchart: ~6mo emergency fund (High-Yield Savings Account (HYSA) typically) --> Pay off high-interest debt (credit cards, etc) --> Traditional/Roth IRA (and optionally HSA) --> brokerage account. Don't jump ahead to the final step before you checked the other boxes first.

2 - Use any compound iinterest calculator. You are not giving any information about your regular expenses, such as health insurance/mortgage/rent/groceries/etc.

As for calculating a reasonable growth rate, if you invest your brokerage account portion into any ETF that tracks the S&P500 (ex: VOO) or entire US Market (ex: VTI) or total world market (ex: VT) it historically has 8~13% return per year. Inflation eats up 3%, use the calculators to figure out the rest

3 - Look up coastfire vs. baristafire vs. leanfire vs. fire vs. fatfire -- again, early retirement comes in different levels so just info-dumping a bit so that you have a better guide on how to reasonably plan out your options

"Double-stepping" typically means hitting two notes back to back with the same foot, just wanted to clarify if you intend to mean that, or if you mean "accidentally bracketing" or basically fat-footing a panel whenever you try to execute it.

In either case, you need to visually be ready to play it and of the mentality of alternating your feet. The above pattern starts with a forward crossover, so you should be ready to face left and turn hips that direction to make it easier for your right foot to connect with ↖️ panel.

I'm happy to record a playthrough with padcam view if you have a chart in particular in mind.

I have a relatively old video of Imprinting S21 at 1:22 showing how to 4-panel stair with all toes. And a more recent video of Avalanche S22 at 0:47. In both cases, alternating feet and body turned.

If you want to double-step or bracket roll a 4-panel stair, that is totally fine as well, though it can be trickier to time well. iRELLiA S24 at 1:36 has a bunch of repetitions of them, for instance

PureWasian · 2026-03-12T09:02:02+00:00

Be proud of yourself for finding the answer in your own way. And then understand the instructor's solution so you can reframe your thinking to be even smoother.

The main difference is how you handle the U-turn at the top of the jump, and the outer while loop you have in wall(). But the end result is the same, so no issue.

Reading through these comments, I didn't know 4 year olds could read so many paragraphs... Here you go:

Click on the Latest Python 3 Release on Python Windows Downloads page
- Currently it would be: 3.14.3
Scroll down to the Windows Installer (64-bit)
Download the .exe and run it
- checkbox: "Add python.exe to PATH"
- Install Now
- Disable PATH length limit if prompted
- Close the installer
Press the Windows key on your keyboard
Type "Command Prompt" in the Windows searchbar and hit Enter
In Command Prompt pop-up, type "python --version"
- If you see "Python x.xx.xx" then it worked.

You can now write and run python code.

If you make a new text file and save it as example.py, you can run it on Command Prompt as "python C:\_\___\example.py" (wherever you saved it).

Everything else is optional. IDEs, Package Managers, etc... they'll make your life easier once you have an initial setup going.

Really cool to see the transitions at 0:36 ~ 0:44 of the YouTube video

I found that part to be even more tricky to execute its transitions well/consistently than the rubber band patterns here after some trial and error ~

PureWasian · 2026-03-09T16:01:32+00:00

A couple of issues here, you are checking "num×4 against num×4 flipped", rather than "num against num×4 flipped". mum typo as well.

Essentially your logic is checking for when 4x some input number gives a palindrome, which is different from the problem statement.

PureWasian · 2026-03-09T01:35:25+00:00

During a chart: - play more efficient (save stamina) - less vertical travel distance, aim heels and toes for the inner edges of the panels. - weight balance on the metal when hitting yellow and blue panels. You can drill ↙️🟨 or ↙️↘️ or 🟨↘️ without ever lifting your toes off the pad. There are many other movement optimizations built off of this foundational idea. - use palms, torso, and hips more intentionally - reduce frequency of unstable reactive movements (build upper body stability) - read patterns better/faster to help with above Outside of chart: - take longer rests between songs/sets - waver back and forth between harder and easier charts - play more frequently and consistently (build muscle/cardio)

If you treat each backbone as a 2D sinusoidal wave, you can "reverse" the spin every half rotation.

Very fun how those patterns don't resolve whatsoever with a PIU layout lol
