@kargaroc386 10 ай бұрын

Being a GBA game, there is no floating point here. If the game needs higher precision than whole numbers, it will use fixed-point numbers (sometimes mistakenly called "subpixels" by speedrunners who don't know better.) Because your player's position is stored in fixed point, you cannot move outside the range of the data type. And fixed-point almost universally has a lower range than integers - as some of that range is traded for extra precision after the decimal point. So SM64-style parallel universes wouldn't exist.

a similar thing happened with terraria recently with transmutation and its surrounding glitches. it didn't just break the game's progression, it completely tore apart the game's engine. building precise structures and manipulating item IDs through multiplayer glitches to spawn thousands of the most powerful items in the game easily. the discovery of transmutation reduced the any% time from around an hour to around 5 minutes, if i recall.

It's one thing to see a game played normally, and sure it's really impressive seeing it played super well, but seeing the programming being pushed to its limits and still somehow holding together enough to still let the game be beatable is so cool! It's like the player and the game itself are really pushing themselves.
