The names of the rides, the names of the guests, the locations of the various guests, music choice, color of Rollercoaster including individual tile customization.....

If you start taking symmetry into account, you no longer have 19 tile formations, but only 6 (flat, one corner raised, 2 adjacent corners raised, 2 opposite corners raised, 3 corners raised, 1 corner raised by 2). The top height only admits flat, the second-to-top admits 5 formations, and all below admit 6. This gives a total of 180 different height formations (instead of 567). When we check height with its possible water combinations, the total number of land + water combinations possible is 2616 (instead of 8281). Adding the 56 terrain options, the total combinations on a single tile would be 146496. The point is that bringing in symmetry in your calculations can make for an easier time. The second point is that the group-theoretical approach of problem solving is fun - for me :) Of course, a park with a certain tile changed (e.g. north corner raised instead south corner raised) is physically a different park, but you can now describe them in 'classes', which makes it a lot easier to describe them.
@killerbee.133 жыл бұрын
The symmetric arrangements of individual tiles don't really make a difference though, because if you take a park, and rotate one tile, it's a different park. For symmetry, you'd have to consider the entire park at once, and the difference from the assymetric calculation would be division by some number less than 8 (because each park can have up to 4 rotations + 4 mirrored rotations, but some parks will actually already be symmetric so they won't have all 8 possibilities, meaning that the average must be less than 8.)

Assuming perfect compression ( which is not the case, but close ) the complexity, or number of possible permutations, for a park of a given size with a given number of items, should, in theory, be similar to your file size. So, if your file size 10 bytes, that's 256^10 possible permutations. If the save file is 1MB, that is 256^1,000,000 permutations. That logic similarly applies to other games as well. On that note, Vsauce has an amazing video on the topic of what "all possible permutations" really means, and it's absolutely crazy, I believe it's his episode about whether we will ever run out of new music.

These numbers are incomprehensibly large. Let's try to put them in perspective: Let's say that nested within every single atom in this universe (10^80) there is a copy of our universe (10^80). Each nested atom owns a trillion trillion copies of RCT2 (10^24). And every nanosecond, each copy of RCT2 generates a new unique landscape (10^9). So each second, 10^193 new landscapes are generated. This is magnitudes more RCT2 landscapes than has ever been generated by humans, being created every single second. Let's begin generating starting at the Big Bang, and ending at the heat death of the universe (10^113). Each time the universe ends, restart it, and watch one nanosecond of KZbin. Once you've watched every KZbin video (10^22), start over, and move 1 nanometer through space. Once you've crossed the entire observable universe a trillion trillion times (10^60), you will have generated 10^388 unique landscapes, which is functionally 0% of the total number possible. Let's revisit the universe within an atom analogy at the beginning. Imagine each atom contained a universe, and each of those nested atoms contained another universe, and so on. You would have to have 4570 nested layers of universes within atoms to have each atom represent a unique landscape.

Very good video, and well done with the maths. The formulas seem to be correct if I remember my maths right. One slight thought about the terrain (see 3:15), or more specifically the edge textures: If a specific tile does not have any visible edges, can we really include those edges in the formula? On the one hand, the information about the edges are in the game, indicating that it should be included. On the other hand, the difference between two variants of invisible edges are not possible to detect by purely looking at the terrain, indicating that we should exclude invisible edges. However, the maths required to exclude edges that are invisible would be so extremely complicated that it would probably be pointless to even try to include in the video, so I would like to say that you did the right choice of formula.

This makes me feel like I'm watching MatPat calculate the number of possible Mario Maker levels all over again... Great work on your calculations and presentation!

The fact that there wasn't a calculator strong enough to handle the calculations you had to do was great.

Given an infinite amount of time, a monkey making randomly landscaped tiles in RCT2 will eventually create Forest Frontiers.

Some calculators you can use for larger numbers: SpeedCrunch (goes up to 1e100,000,000 before giving up) HyperCalc (goes up to at least 10^10^100 and probably larger)

excuse me, that random park landscape you flashed on screen for about 5 seconds is a thing of absolute beauty

competition idea: each contestant has to build a park on their own randomly generated landscape

Now include the additional landscape choices from OpenRCT2 (regarding the side and top textures, basically the ones from RCT1 and RCT2 together) and even the "just landscape" number alone would get even crazier

Great video. Your cogwheel example assumes that the maximum number of scenery items must be used. If you count the combinations where less the maximum number are used, you would go up by at least another 10^100,000,000
