Forum:Yugioh world championship 2007 video game weird things

I use a control loop to gain infinit life point to found out what is the maximum life points in this game, and some think realy weird happen, after repeating the loop several times I got up to 80000 life points and the dark red enchanter had arrown 40000 atk points I activated mystick wok from my hand and tribute and select atk point for dark red enchanter, my life point go up by the current atk of dark red enchanter, my life point stop at "99999" and then I pay the cost to activated a face-up ultimated offering it showed 99999 -500= 99999 my life points stayed the same I special summoned chaos emperor dragon-envoy of the end I activated it's effect and payed 1000 life point, it showed this again 99999 -1000= 99999.

I relize that the game still keeps on counting over this amount, but it doesn't show it, do you have an idea why this game do this?96.44.92.186 (talk) 19:20, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

Your question has nothing to do with Rulings. I'm moving this thread to an appropriate category.

The game registers numbers in now way different to what a calculator does. Using binary numbers with bits used to represent them. What most probably happened is that the calculator can only represent that maximum value, adding to that number produced an overflow error and it caused a glitch.  HHTurtle ^Talk   20:01, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry! I did not know which categories it goes to, however now I know. If I would of continued testing it and continued to paid cost until it when to below the over flow do you think it would start to show the correct amount?96.44.92.186 (talk) 21:33, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

It's ok. I just needed to moved this thread.

It's hard to say what would happen. Overflow error happens because a computer doesn't have an infinite number of bits. It's like telling you that you can only write numbers using only 1 digit. Let's say you start at 8, then add 1 and it becomes 9, then add 1 and it becomes 10 but you can't write "1" and "0" for ten because you can only write one digit. That's how the computer glitched itself.

Ppl who deal with coding can do special stuff to circumvent this problem. However, the fact that you had infinite LP at 99999 probably meant tht the ppl who created this game didn't bother since nobody expects you to gain insane amounts of LP.  HHTurtle ^Talk   07:09, June 5, 2012 (UTC)
