dkcoach - A MAME plugin to assist with Donkey Kong learning
10yard:
I've made a Donkey Kong coaching tool to assist people like me who are struggling to master the Springs stage. There's more information about it on my project page at https://github.com/10yard/dkcoach#readme
I tried to visualise some of the excellent "Spring Theory" work done by Xelnia. I have referred back to that thread about 100 times!
The coach determines the "spring type" between 0 and 15 based on length and displays this information near to where the springs are released, helping you make quick decisions on when to make a run and when to sit tight or retreat back to safety. The coach displays safe zones (in green) and variable danger zones (in red).
As you become more confident with your gameplay, you can reduce help features by pressing "P2 Start" button. Toggling from "Max Help" to "Min Help" to "No Help". The coaching should help you to identify springs and react to them quickly.
Here's a quick demo video.

Hopefully this tool will be useful to some. I plan to add helpers to other stages too.

Thank you Sock Master! It's helping me improve my DK skill, and I need it TBH ROFL. It was fun to learn a bit more about the internal workings of the game too.
