Real Time Celester
Inspired by OrangeKnife's Celeste corrupter and the Real Time Corrupter by CorruptedBytes, it's the Real Time Celester! A hack for Celeste that corrupts the game in real time as you play. Can you beat it before the game implodes upon itself? Post your times and your discoveries below!
Q: How is this different from the original Celeste corrupter?
A: Instead of using a fixed seed for the corruptions, the realtime corrupter randomly blasts corruption every certain amount of frames. This way the game get's more hectic and crazy as it goes along.
Q: How does it work?
A: The two settings on the main menu control the amount of frames per corruption blast (Frametime), and how many bytes to corrupt per frametime (Amount). It does this using the poke function, which allows you to change any byte of the program loaded into memory while it's running. It basically just uses that function coupled with a random number everytime it wants to corrupt another byte.
Q: Could you theoretically corrupt the corrupter?
A: There's a chance, albeit slim, and if it happens, god help us all.

Review: A new taste for an old dish, Realtime corruptor for celeste adds lots of possibilities for new fun.


How would corrupting the corruptor happen ??
I thought peek and poke couldn't touch any Lua variables.


0 deaths
0 strawberries
10 seconds
It's really handy when the spring turns into the summit flag



Welp I got softlocked shortly after getting green hair because the madaline spawn was overwritten.
was fun though :)


no idea what time i even got but the "regain dash" sound was playing constantly in the final ~2 minutes and summit flag spawned out of nowhere



I made it to the final level in world 3 and then i got soft locked :(
Edit: I managed to do it without softlocking!!!


hey @AdamMcKibben
i was wondering if you were okay with me taking the corrupter part from here and putting it into a celeste procedural generator. just wanted to make sure if your okay with that.


@AdamMcKibben the cart is now up! sorry it took so long. i got caught up in other projects!
