[@ImAdonai]

Main reason you've lost on the 2 run was overspending on armor before first boss. All you needed from armor was to strip it off and hit enemies spawned by "logs" once before they left the range, as they have way less armor than the "logs" and bleed/burn could easily finish them off. First boss is a heavy filter for the tesla run, since you need enough health and bleed damage to take him down. You do need to hit enemies from the "logs" at least once before they leave the range, but upgrading armor damage any higher than this requirement is a clear waste.

[@emorell96]

@@JohnDCrafton the game is coded using unity which uses c# and the default integer type is the int which is signed. Devs could choose to use a uint (unsigned int) but that might not be ideal if you need to have negatives somewhere in code. Because you could have to do casts and it is honestly not worth it if it's there just to give yourself more room for people to break the game. And even with unsigned integers the overflow will still happen just at 2*2^32 -1 vs 2^32-1. (Checkout how big those numbers are using Google). Also if you use uint and you need to cast to int latter on you might just introduce possible crashes or at least exceptions when you cast if your uint cannot safely be represented as an int. Because the uint will go from 0 to 2^32-1 vs an int which goes from -2^31+1 to 2^31-1 Basically using int in C# is just easier for developers specially if it might be handy to model buffs and damage with the same objects just different sign.

The reason why it went to negative numbers is probably damage value exceeded capacity of the variable storing the data in memory. As any variable can hold only so many bits of data, once you fill them all up any excess will cause it to either crash the game, or flip the variable and start counting again from negative extreme. It happened in other games too, one of the more famous examples was Civilisations Ghandi going nuclear once his peacefullness exceeded the scale and landed on extreme opposite.

Hey Matt, you should definitely be able to beat it with only one tesla. you lost the first 2 rounds both because of oogie. in the 1st round it was not ideal placing but in round 2 it was perfect. the problem you made was not focusing on extra health damage which is all oogie has and instead, upgrading armor damage. is you had more health and bleed damage upgrades it should be easily possible. you just have to plan for the next oogie boss.

[@segue2ant395]

The health thing is likely a result of integer overlofw, which (assuming this is a Unity game written in C#) happens around the 2,147,483,647. Add 1 to this and it becomes -2,147,483,647. This means that theoretically if you keep upgrading it you'd eventually get it back into causing a positive value of damage. You may even have looped through the overflow several times already before it became apparent.

16:20 That is called a signed integer overflow. Basically, when a number reaches the maximum a computer can store in a certain type of variable (in this case 32 bit), it flips over to the lowest number. Think of it as your car odometer reaching its maximum value and then going to zero. Except in the case of this game, it's a signed number. Meaning it can hold positive and negative numbers. Therefore, flipping it over can produce negative numbers.

15:40 be like: Hello fellow (software) engineers, welcome back to INTEGER OVERFLOW

[@HippieInHeart]

What happened there is pretty easy to explain. Just in case anyone might be interested: Lets count in 0 and 1s. The smallest possible number is 0. 0 + 1 = 1. What happens when I calculate 1 + 1? It can't be 2, because we are only counting with 0 and 1. What happens is the same thing that also happens when you use the numbers 0 to 9 for counting and calculations. If you have a 9 and you add 1, there can't be a higher single digit number, because 9 is the biggest that we can use. So, the 9 changes back to the lowest number, 0, and we add a 1 in front of it. The same thing happens when calculating with 0 and 1. If you have 1 and you add 1, you cant get a higher single-digit number, because 1 is the highest you are allowed to use. So, you change the 1 back to the lowest number, 0, and add a 1 in front. This means that, when calculating with 0s and 1s, 1 + 1 = 10, 10 + 1 = 11, and 11 + 1 = 100, and so on. Now, what happens if the size of numbers is restricted? For example, lets say your numbers are only allowed to be two digits, so the absolute highest number you can have is 11. If you then add 1, the result would be 100, but since you are only allowed to have two digits, the first (leftmost) digit simply gets cut off and the result ends up back at the smallest possible number, 00. How can this result in a negative value? When we use numbers the normal way from 0 to 9, restrict ourselves to only use the two rightmost digits, and calculate 99 + 1, the result ends up as 00, not as any negative number. The reason for this is that we haven't talked about negative and positive numbers and the way they are used. Within a computer, literally everything is either 0 or 1. This means that there also needs to be either a 0 or a 1 to show whether a value is positive or negative. So it is included in the number that we are using for our calculations. If I now use those rules for my example, let's say 011 is a representation of a negative number while 111 is a representation of a positive number, indicated by the leftmost digit which is either 0 for negative numbers or 1 for positive numbers. Lets say we have 011 and add 1. That would result in 100. Notice how the first, the leftmost digit has switched from 0 to 1. This means that we now have a positive number instead of a negative one. When counting up from negative values, this is fine, it is similar to what we have with our normal numbers as well. If I have -1 and I add 1, I will come out with 0, which is no longer a negative value. So, as a basic rule, you can say that when you take the smallest possible negative number, and add 1, you end up with the smallest possible positive number. However, the question is what happens if you take the biggest possible value and add 1? Remember how I talked about digit restrictions. We are still restricted to 3 digits within our example. This means that the largest possible value we can have is 111, but instead of representing 7, it is representing 3. The reason for this is that the leftmost digit is not actually part of our number, it is instead used to show us whether our number is positive or negative. Now lets take this largest positive value, 111, and add 1. The result would be 1000, with the leftmost digit getting cut off due to the result having more than the three digits that we're allowed to use. That leaves us with 000 which, in this case, is not actually 0 but instead it is the biggest possible negative number that I can display. This is not everything. There are different data types, some can display positive and negative values, some can only display positive values. What has been done here is very common, the people who made this game probably didn't care too much about the size and efficiency of different types and just used a type that can also display negative values (probably int, most programmers always just use int for every number value), despite the fact that damage is never supposed to be negative. This resulted in the damage not stopping at 0 but, by going all the way down to the smallest possible number, it actually went to the biggest negative number. That could then also explain why you took no damage when your tower was reached by enemies that had recieved negative damage. Obviously whatever calculations they did with health and damage and everything was never intended to recieve any type of negative value, so when it did recieve a negative value caused by your damage overflow, it messed up everything else too. It's a good lesson how one small thing can cause many different issues and a lot of strange behaviour within a program. Had they done it properly and just used a data type that can't become negative for the damage, your health damage simply would have gone back down to 0 and the rest of the game likely would have continued as normal. That's why I personally find it useful and good to worry about data types and make sure that nothing is bigger than it needs to be (by which I mean in regards to storage space, a number that is never supposed to go above 99 definitely doesn't need to take all the space that a full int requires), and especially make sure that no value can become negative if it doesn't need to. I wish more people were like that, but it seems to be a rare sentiment among programmers. The reason for this is probably that computers have gotten too fast, there are no longer any real negative consequences for inefficient programming - except in the few cases when there actually are negative consequences. Those consequences could be just something small and insignificant like in this video where you simply do stuff in a game that you aren't supposed to be able to do and the game reacting in a slightly more weird way than it should. Those consequences also could be some small bug or unexpected user behaviour cascading and down the line causing a massive and very strange issue that takes a long time to figure out what causes it. Or the consequeces could be that somehow someone is able to utilize something like this for malicious behaviour with some machine that is connected to the internet and then makes values become negative that are never supposed to be negative, which could make the machine very unsafe for work. Imagine an airplane where someone is somehow able to highjack the connections from flight sensors and manages to use them to feed negative numbers into the flight computer. If the flight computer is not programmed in a way that prevents negative numbers completely, it could result in a very bad crash. This last scenario, of course, would be the absolute worst case, and require all sorts of different very strong security measures to fail before it can even get to that point, but it is not entirely impossible.

[@Totally_Bonkers]

OH DEAR

[@BinaryArmorOnline]

Software Engineer here! The number flipped negative because the computer only allocates a certain number of bits to the storing of a number, and how many bits it allocates is determined by what the programmers consider a reasonable size. Almost definitely what happened was that the devs used a signed integer (where the first bit indicates positive or negative), and when your tesla reached a higher health damage level than the devs budgeted integer storage space for, the game tried to use that first bit to store more number but actually flipped the sign bit instead, turning the whole thing negative. Using a signed integer instead of an unsigned integer for a damage variable is kind of an architect move, to be honest. That said, I have no clue what happened that the red health enemies failed to do anything to your tower. Very possibly more shenanigans with signed and unsigned health values, I suppose.

[@justfun287]

MORE POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!!

[@randomrandom9570]

Yea, so what happened with the negative number for health damage is number overflow. In programming those numbers are basically represented by a box with a label. Boxes have a certain size. For example, a Box with the label Integer can only hold up to 4,294,967,295 (4.3 billion) different whole numbers. In the case of game, it would be a signed Integer, which means it can hold both negative and positive numbers, in the range of -2,147,483,648 (-2.1 billion) to 2,147,483,647 (2.1 billion). Unsigned integers can only hold positive numbers. When you have an integer that goes the maximum number that it can hold, you will encounter integer overflow. Which basically means you loop back to the lowest number that the Integer can represent (0 if unsigned, -2.1 billion if signed). This is a really difficult problem for computers to solve. Which is why it is still a problem. For anyone wondering why I am completely ignoring decimal numbers. That's because Integers only hold whole numbers. In order to represent a decimal number, you would use a Float or a Double.

The numbers are stored in a "Two's complement" binary number, so if the number achieve a big number, the counter adds a - and starts again. Something similar (but not equal) happened with the gangnam style youtube visits counter, it broke because there were no enough memory to store the huge visits number

When you exceed the integer limit but still win xD

[@danielrocks3143]

Your tesla deals so much damage that it left the enemy in shock, their body cant cope up to the amount of damage dealt that they themselves didn't know they are already dead and continue to run/walk towards your base dealing no damage.

[@erichhuffman8081]

integer overflows are a form of fuzzing as well. if you want to mess with the game in ways it was not intended to be messed with by the programmers, you've found one :)

[@CamoSquid]

This reminds me if bloonz tower defense my friends an literally every one in my grade would play back in elementary school

[@Azukaae]

Ah yes, the classic rule of games. If the number has reached highly negative numbers, then you've broken the game

[@ferwiner2]

As far as I know, the most known overflow bug in gaming industry is ghandi going all in with nukes in civ 5.

2:23 CC - “All Testicles take 25% bleed damage”

[@1_GigaWaffle]

Tesla has been fixed like a month ago. No matter the damage, you couldn't win a game with 1 tesla anyway. Mods or no mods. They nerfed firing rate by 50%, so even on the best wrap around Portals and Beholders will get you.

[@dieofdeathgames7719]

This is beautiful

[@numberyellow]

Holy shit.... you've created a zombie ray. It killed them so hard, their bodies forgot to die.

2:20 “all testicles gain 25% bleed damage” lmao

[@rogerdouglas2306]

try the levelstorpm mod makes your towers shoot hella fast its fun! encampments op also dark mode, respec and refund so you can draw less cards for your builds EnemyMultiplier to spawn a crapload of enemies very satisfying

[@corvusgaming2379]

Thanks for the idea!

[@MattJDylan]

Oh, it should the same bug youtube used to have once you reach a certain number of visuals (if I recall, it's 2 to the power of 32 because it's based on 32bit systems). Once you go over that, the counter restarts from the lower number available. Gangnam style was at 0 visual for a while because of that lol

[@JesusCheeseburger]

I notice you skip a lot of basic upgrades, like +1 damage to health from ballistas, but there's better upgrades unlocked by the basic ones. Health leads to bleed damage, armor leads to fire, and shield leads to poison

[@evolvethrealojog8491]

Quality over Quantity would have saved you. You would've crit a lot of times and killed Oogie. I have done it with the tesla on the current patch and it is still solid

[@JustTony72]

Ohhhh integer overflow. There was a shooting game long time ago which had the same issue but worse. You couldn't kill the final boss

[@theslayyy1956]

Want moreeee 💀!!!

[@Vonebor]

Spooky timing on this video--I literally just received my Tesla Model 3 today, which I ordered 6 months ago!

[@205badger3]

In binary numbers, negative numbers are represented by the most valued position being 1 and positive 0. So you made the number so big that it turned the most valued position in a really long binary string into a 1.

16:47 a vampire bat gets through without being hit by the tesla, but he doesn't lose. I think the mod makes the tower invulnerable or something?

[@IWatchYourStreamTV]

16:28 - In CIV this would be known as a Diplomatic, Cultural or Religious victory lol

[@clementmariette7059]

5:54 "All testicules gain + 25% burn damage" What did he sayyyyyyy

[@GummieI]

While I don't know where or what it called, I seen other youtubers have a mod that allows you to respec without having to restart the entire progression, might be good to look for that for challenges like this

Hmm, that minus health multiplier, maybe it has turned them to the light side? So they can go to the tower and not damage it, since they are now good.

Matt I am doing a project on bridges for school and I am writing an article on the historical evolution of bridges. So since you're an expert do you have any info that could help me???

matt im glad to save youve gotten so much better at this game then your first episode

[@jakejager]

Time stamp 5:54: sounds like you said "all testicles do burning damage" LOL

[@bubmagnuson3833]

THE STRONGEST SHAPE Great, now that I have your attention, I have a pettition regarding the Minecraft series... please continue it, even if the latest video hastn't made it to the like count you asked for, but I must say, even I, with the post alerts and a evergrowing adiction to your videos didn't realized you had posted that video until 2 days later, so... it's KZbin's fault it wasn't as succesful as the others. Please make another video of Minecraft.... maybe a 1 Million subscriber special.

[@whatis817]

2:22 "all testicles gain 25% bleed damage "

Hold up. Did I hear that right at 2:22? "ALL testicles get 25% Bleed Damage..." 🤔
