Speedruns

This page is about info on FCC Classic and FCC DE speedruns.

As of right now, this page is going to be incomplete until speedruns on speedrun.com have properly been worked out which will be once Jaydario gets a YouTube account.

*Warning: As the game gets updated quite frequently, these tables will also become outdated frequently. Please try your best to update the tables.*

## Speedrun Categories

The categories that are expected to be on speedrun.com are 10 thousand cookies, 1 million cookies, and All Achievements (DE only).

However, there could always be an All Buildings category!

The concepts are pretty self-explanatory; get 10K or 1M cookies without changing any code, and get every achievement without changing code.

Using math, for 10K cookies, it will most likely take at least 55 minutes to an hour, 25 minutes at a big stretch. Since 1 million cookies is 100 times bigger than 10K cookies, even if it was 30 minutes that would still take 2 days of non-stop clicking and since auto-clicking is kinda cheating, you'd better not contend for WR on those categories if you're on Definitive Edition, because FCC Classic is an easier story. It'll probably take 7 times less time than in Definitive Edition because of the farm, so 4 minutes and 17 seconds. And for 1 million cookies, it'd be around 5 hours because the mine and factory exist.

Unfortunately for math, the first world record for 10k cookies in Definitive Edition was 9 minutes and 10 seconds, which is basically the time it takes to run 93.5% of a mile although it was basically an All Achievements run so it would be the world record of both 10K and All Achievements at the time. The current world record is 7 minutes and 50 seconds.

Since again, 1 million = 10K \* 100, the world record at the exact same pace would be 13 hours, 33 minutes, and 20 seconds.

Again using math, for All Achievements, it will take about 9 hours if you decide to buy 4 grandmas, and about 3 hours for 12 grandmas. It gets less and less better to get more grandmas the more you have, so you have to use strategy to figure out when that is. But it's probably somewhere within the 10-15 grandma range.

However math isn't credible for figuring out the perfect time for a speedrun as even the first record in All Achievements was 11 minutes and 52 seconds, which was encompassed by the current world record for All Achievements which is 7 minutes and 53 seconds, with a bit of room for improvement.

For All Buildings, Definitive Edition All Buildings would probably take about 17.7 seconds for a 6.5 CpS clicker. 14.375 seconds for an 8 CpS clicker.

All Buildings Scratch Edition would take at least 10 minutes.

In a table, these results are:

 Notes

### Sub-Categories

Adding onto these categories, there are proposed to be any% and lowclick% subcategories.

Any% is about doing these categories as quckly as possible, and in any way possible, as long as it abides by the category's rules; no code tampering. As for lowclick%, the name of the game is to beat the main category, but while clicking the least amount of times, in the least amount of time possible, and not messing with any code.

For Any%, um that already happened.

For lowclick% however...

OK so here's what an optimal low-click percent run of 10K or 1 million looks like.

when cookies > 15
buy cursor
next split
 Split 2: 10K cookies
when cookies = 10K
next split
 Split 3: 1M cookies
when cookies = 1M
end

As you can see, DO NOT ATTEMPT THE 1M COOKIES CATEGORY IN LOWCLICK%. DO NOT.

Anyway, now for All Achievements lowclick%.

All Buildings lowclick% in Definitive Edition would be like this.

when cursors >= 1
next split
when cookies >= 100
buy grandma
end

All Buildings lowclick% in Scratch Edition however...

when cursors >= 1
next split
when cookies >= 157,215
buy factory
buy mine
buy farm
buy grandma
buy cursor
end

In a table, all of these results are:

### Table 3

Scratch Edition
 Comparison
 Notes

All other possible world records in Scratch Edition are the same as in Definitive Edition.

## History

The idea of speedruns all started on the Achievements page, but was popularised with A post on this wiki by the creator of the game. There was no progress since except for a category named "Speedrun discussion" on the discussion page.

That is, until May 9th, 2022, when the creator of the game made an announcement post. But this post was announcing that "It's Screwed".

He linked a Dailymotion video he'd uploaded to his account that showed how he couldn't set up SR.Com leaderboards.

For a month, the future of Speedruns were uncertain, due to the creator not being able to set up any leaderboards.

Fast-forward to a month later, June 2nd, 2022, when A2A2tgt announced, essentially, that they could set up speedrun leaderbords, with a bit of help.

It seems that this may be a ray of hope for speedrunners, but only time will tell if this plan can succeed.

## Category Extensions

For those who don't know, category extensions are less competitive speedruns, generally played for fun, where you beat a game with weird, unorthodox, or generally different rules, such as the Super Mario Odyssey Category extension "nipple%", where the goal is to get the "Boxer Shorts" outfit (so as to expose Mario's nipples,) as quickly as possible.

Anyways, the category extensions expected to be on speedrun.com are ACE, (Arbitrary Code Execution) short% (DE Only), and timetravel%.

ACE is about beating a game while doing extremely specific things to warp you near the end of the game or straight to the credits. in FCC and FCC DE, there isn't a defined "end of the game" or "credits", so the goal here is to get 1,000,000 cookies without clicking, but with ACE. It's also important to note that ACE is the only category where code tampering is allowed, since there's not really a glitch to instantly give you 1 million cookies. As for short%, it's an extremely short run where you have to get the achievements "Bakeginner", "Nice Try", and "Won't Budge," as quickly as possible. And then, there's timetravel%, where you have to play through each version of the game available while earning 10 cookies, without code tampering.
