Optionally Require Boss Keys for Glitched Logic

Open Zeimyth opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

In yesterday's stream, zfg suggested having an option to require boss keys with glitched logic enabled. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/611254801?t=00h14m30s

He commented on how few items were required, allowing him to finish last weekend's glitched logic race in about 3 hours. Adding an option to keep boss keys in logic (and banning boss key skips through a means outside of the rules of the rando logic itself) would increase the pool of required items.

This seems like a straightforward change to make, and one that I'm willing to implement myself, but I wanted to get a sense for how desirable or undesirable this kind of change might be. Disabling a class of glitches does go against the overall spirit of a glitched logic randomizer; on the other hand, there are some extraordinarily esoteric glitches that might make a glitched logic randomizer less accessible to even some more experienced players. Perhaps the glitched logic had to intentionally disregard some of these for accessibility, or perhaps the logic truly is as open as possible. Either way, this suggestion might start to lend itself toward a more exhaustive list of allowed/disallowed glitches in a similar vein to the "tricks" that can be enabled in piecemeal for glitchless logic randomizers. This may or may not be desirable, so that should be considered as part of the discussion.

That's not a bad idea on either count - the ruleset change would need some discussion in the discord, so I encourage you to bring this idea (and any others you may have) to the OoTR discord suggestions channel first, before opening a github issue for it

Boss Key skips will be toggleable glitches in the Glitch Logic rework by Dusk the Umbreon. Individually for each boss door, from the looks of things. There's no ETA for this rework yet, but the project has not been abandoned. I've linked the branch below.
