Strange scoring system...

Post by brad2901 »

Why does your score automatically jump to minus numbers when you go above +37,000 ? :) - I'll include a screen shot later if i can find it... :wink:

I'd guess that the exact rollover number was 32767.
This would be due to a signed short (int16_t) being
used to store or print the score value.

probalby rollover

was it 32768? then it went negitive?

that would be the max size of a signed short.

your score should never get that high if it does, then you'v been playing for too long.

go outside. see the trees. :)

actually, 32767 is the max size of a
signed short. -32768 is the min size,
(but i'm pretty sure that that's nitpicking :-)

lol toaster... and i wasn't beating up bots. It was a kind of fair match. Brad2901 bot vs. 10 red bots that can't jump. Oh, 1 more thing, brad2901 bot had sw and shock out radius was set to 500 :)
