Custom Minimals

• Solution finder

A special method of generating minimals, where you can get minimal sets for maximizing a setup’s quad clear chance, T-Spin chance, etc. by converting solution finder’s cover output into a path.csv file, allowing sfinder-strict-minimal to work its magic.

This is currently done through Hillosanation’s Cover-to-Path Script.

1. Download the Cover-to-Path script and place it in the folder where sfinder.jar is.
2. Download the unglueFumen script and place it in the folder where sfinder.jar is.

Getting all the unique solutions:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

Input:
java -jar sfinder.jar path -t v115@VgC8GeC8GeC8GeE8CeH8AeI8AeI8AeI8AeC8JeAgH -p *! -c 8

Output:
...
# Output file
Found path [unique] = 28
Found path [minimal] = 26

Open the path_unique.html file in the /output/ folder. At the top of the page should be a link to all the solutions.

Gluing all the fumen solutions:
“Glued” fumens are required as input for sfinder’s cover command.

1. Right click the first link in the path_unique.html file and select “Copy link”.
2. Go to this fumen editor and paste the link into the input field and select the “Glue” option. This should return a list of fumens in the output field.
3. In the folder where sfinder.jar is, go to the /input/ folder and open the field.txt file. Paste the results in there and save it.

Run cover with --mode tetris-end:

1

java -jar sfinder.jar cover -p *! -M tetris-end

Since you don’t specify the --tetfu parameter, the input.txt file is what’s being used for this command. Use the same -p value as the path command from earlier. -M tetris-end makes it so that cover is only returned as successful if the last clear in the sequence is a quad or tetris line clear.

The result should show OR = 72.46 % [3652/5040].

Converting the cover.csv to path.csv:

1

py cover-to-path.py

The resulting file should be in the /output/ folder, named cover_to_path.csv.

Running sfinder-strict-minimals: If you’ve installed sfinder-strict-minimals properly, it should just be:

1

sfinder-minimal output/cover_to_path.csv

The result should tell you that you need 22 solutions. This means that those 22 solutions are required to reach 72.46% Quad PC chances for this setup. This is our output.

Afterwards you can open the path_minimal_strict.md or get it through Marfung’s makeMinimals script.

And that’s your output. You can use other --mode values for cover to get different outputs, like T-Spin minimals for a certain setup or things like that. Read more about it over at the sfinder cover documentation.
