A Walnut's Thoughts

My name is Anthony, I'm a self taught developer based in the midwest. I'm interested in systems programming, dev tools, and game design. Currently looking for work.

3 miles deep in the Rust debugging rabbit hole. If you have any questions regarding that, feel free to send me an email or a message in the Rust zulip or LLVM discourse.

I love epic fantasy novels, my favorites are Malazan Book of the Fallen and The Wheel of Time. Currently reading The Black Company.

Can you estimate playtime from replay folder size?

I've seen this question come up a few times on r/ssbm and while I've given hand-wavey answers before, I find myself in a good place to answer more rigorously now. We can break this question down to more basic ones: "how many bytes of replay data correspond to a single frame of gameplay?" and "how many bytes in the replay are unrelated to frames?". From there, we can estimate a duration by simply translating the 16.667ms per frame to minutes and seconds.
