So what's happened is your number for poison was so large it hit the limit of the integer they allocated memory for so it flips back down It could even be modifying memory outside that and may see other weird behavior if you kept doing it if it wasn't coded to protect against that. those are insanely large numbers

though there should be safeguards in place for this.. usually you are supposed to do checks for this. One Way would be to check the Number, compare it to the maximum and just check if the next operation would make it overflow (just by logic, e.g. if number >= (maximum/modifier) then make number = maximum) and then just set it to the maximum. (of course you would check first if it's a multiplier or something that get's added)

@@mongmanmarkyt2897 this is what is wrong with software development today. "I'll just fix it in an upgrade" - "Unexpected Overflows happen" This is what's happening when you rush your development. Oftentimes you can do it in the same time but way better if you just think carefully about those problems and make something like a damage, poison or character value overflow protected by using a class or something else. It's pretty easy and if you do it at one step of the programm you should be able to implement it in a way it's also accesible at another location where it would be needed.

Looks like they used signed 32 bit integers for the poison stacks. And it checks if the poison value is larger than some certain number to prevent the overflow, but they probably counted the poison flask to only ever double the value so in some cases you can get rollover to a negative value. It then resets that negative value to 0 or 1 stacks before processing the next item. Could probably just solve it by using a 128 bit unsigned and pretend there's no such thing as integer overflow, if someone manages to hit 3.4 * 10³⁸ poison stacks then they probably need to take a break from the game anyway.

Ah the integer limit. How beautiful.

Commenting for the algorithm (and for your dedication to content) Corn flakes.

Interesting that some player-facing values are floats and some are integers.

Vampire Fangs stack really nicely with Dolly. She heals every time she does damage, including to herself, so eventually it gets to where she heals herself for more than she hurts herself, unless you're using the Dark Sword.

wieder mal sehr stark

Gotta love integer logarithmic sum overflowed poison. It's maxed out at 2^64-1 so you only need 63 potions starting at 2 poison stacks to max it out and not overflow. It's 64 because multiplication makes it becomes long integer. If this game had bignum or pynum, it can have no limit.

I had the exact same idea as you after the strength run. I was like "I should do this but with poison" I made a character and went "eh maybe later" I like the game but not enough to play it

I finally got a good run with Bernie using (as of floor 23) 4 vampire-3 poison-6 pincushion-5 hoarder-5 junkjet and also got 7 golden armor (and some others, and i did use reloading for better rewards, but those are the main ones I stacked) For some extra context, i had more hp than the boss, would heal on my turn due to vampire-hoarder-junk jet, and would heal when i get hit thanks to vampire-pin cushion, and would heal on the enemies' start turn thanks to poison-vampire. I could even afk a boss fight

living on the edge

37:11 I think it hit the 32 bit integer limit, and because of that, any sort of multiplicative elements are nullified since if they were applied, the system could not handle it

bro changed the game from claw mashine to bulldozer without mods

I would just remind everyone that since the potions triple the value it's hard to say if the integer is signed or unsigned. Also since it sometimes overflowed and sometimes didn't there are more conditions that are at play. There's obviously some amount of overflow checking going on with the potions but not enough. With the overflow it always seemed to be fine and the count started from zero for all the subsequent stacks then that would point more towards unsigned integer.

what i also broken is clawcula when you do the health increase by amount of gold , strength boost when ever you take dmg, healing when you take dmg, everything gives poison, poison transfers when creature dies, do damage with every dodge, add a item whenever you take damage, do damage for every item added after the first round and it all just infinitely stacks because my healing when getting damage is higher then the damage that i put out so even reflect does not work unless i get killed in 1 hit somehow

@dex you should know that the text in the Events are different one stands for the poison potion ("the Air feels moinst and warm") and one for the healing Flask.

Liked and Subscribed 👍👍

Long time watcher first time commenting on amazing videos! Keep it up! Posion🧪

GG dex!

I think you needed to swap the ratio of blades and poison, smaller items take longer to fill the board up but easier to grab and deal more poison

Good old overflows.

Maybe with the saves you could acces them in the files and store then somewere else

The maximum value of a 32bit, signed integer is 2,147,483,647. It is save to say your doubling is running into that limit. Given you have x3 potions and every x2 is like a whole bitshift, it doesn't even take much to reach it.

Starting this run, I’m eagerly watching hoping you’ll get 21 bargains and see if you’ll get paid.

I don't know if it still works with the new updates, but there was a little bit of a cheat like way to play, if you don't like the enemies you get you could back out, and try again and it'd randomize the enemies. After so many times of doin git though you'd always get the same enemy over and over, so doing it to much could end up hurting you instead.

35:50 an item likely clipped out of bounds (and so happen to be on the right side / bottom right side so it hit him. I've had all my items with magnets fly up and to the left and just be gone off screen and i was left with nothing to grab with the claw. (restarted the fight to fix it)

You should reach out to the developer and ask him if he can add commas to the damage tooltip or even all numbers so it doesn't look as much like an amalgamation.

Borderline unplayable

overflow the poison number so you go from super high to 1.

The limit you're hitting here is 2^31, around 2.1 Billion, which is the limit of a 32 bit signed integer. Also if you do run out of save slots, you might just be able to find the save folder on your pc and just copy them somewhere else for safekeeping later

Regarding Bargain, I believe it may actually be possible to go into the negatives and gain money from rerolling. I think the reason it didn't work last time when you got 21 bargains is because the first reroll costs 2 gold, Meaning you will need 30. 20 to make rerolling free, and another 10 (-50%) to overcome 1 gold, and then it will stack from there as the reroll "cost" increases. I can't imagine it being that useful though, because when you're that late in the game, money becomes pretty worthless. It could be insane for stacking golden armor, though!

@DexTag

28 күн бұрын

Rerolling increases every time you roll, meaning if you want a rare item, you can easily roll 50-100 times until you get it (or even longer). And same for Perks. And keep in mind that reroll cost increase more and more, I think with 10 Bargain in the other Strength run, the start roll cost me 80g. That's 80% of what you earn on a level with 5k gold on hand. It's a really big difference for total things gained, though certain builds just don't need that cause they are already so strong the enemies won't catch up in years
