LiveSplitOne VS LiveSplit

https://one.livesplit.org livesplit in your browser

Sounds puzzling. Do you know about the browser version of Livesplit? Maybe that would work better for you.

If you download LiveSplit from the official site https://livesplit.org/ and get a zip folder (that you have to extract) there's absolutely no risk. You could also try https://one.livesplit.org/ (LiveSplit One) that doesn't even install anything on your computer, just runs entirely in a browser

Livesplit isn't a virus (https://twitter.com/wooferzfg/status/1300559588819902469?lang=en). However, it's a .exe, so you might not be able to run it on Mac products. You could use Livesplit One instead https://one.livesplit.org/. To get your Switch onto your computer, you'd need to get a capture card. I honestly don't know which ones work for Macs, so you'd need to do a bit of research.

A Speedrunning Browser Timer

If you have concerns, an alternative is the browser version, https://one.livesplit.org/.

You don't need to build from source afaict since they seem to provide a hosted version of it for you: https://one.livesplit.org/

...I guess one last thing is this program only works on PC, if you have a Mac (or chromebook or whatever) the timer selection is very sparse. Though you do have LiveSplit One that runs in a browser https://one.livesplit.org/

Once you get a capture card, you need a broadcasting software of some kind. Most people use OBS studio, which you can find here. There will likely be speedrunning tutorials out eventually, but because the game is so new, you’re kind of on your own for now in that regard. Also, if you haven’t speedrun any game before, you’re gonna want livesplit, which you can download here.

LiveSplit is open source so if necessary you could make your own addition to enable word wrap. As far as how to do that, you'd have to ask someone smarter than me. There's definitely a ton of minor issues with LiveSplit that have made me think of downloading a different timer software, but they're minor enough that I haven't actually gone through with that.

and as for a timer, i would recommend livesplit. it works for all games, and is pretty customisable: https://livesplit.org

https://livesplit.org/ use this and record your time the day before an ia is due. Or start it in 9th grade if you dont like stress.

If you want a more convenient timer, I recommend you try out LiveSplit.

the people behind livesplit are very open to talking about their code I'm sure. talk to them here https://livesplit.org/

Players should do the run on stream via Twitch or YouTube in one-run with the stopwatch (https://livesplit.org/) - Example of the run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRky-S-mefY

I like to use LiveSplit for timing: https://livesplit.org/. That way I can do several practice clears without leaving practice tool. I also track my times on an Excel sheet since seeing my improvement over time is motivating.
