Program that automates speedruns of Patrick's Parabox.

Solves 156 puzzles, a minimal set to reach the credits. No game defects are exploited. (A glitchless any% TAS, in speedrunning jargon.)

Run duration is measured from the first input on the title screen to the last input before the credits.

The bold rows are the most important.

These settings apply to OBS Studio, if you want to record a run.
