DISCLAIMER: The script for this video was written around May 2022, so a lot of the info there could be inaccurate. I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused by this.

Today, we will dive deeply into the GD code to learn about a pretty unknown phenomenon called the GD Farlands. We will discuss how this bug works, look at the hardest levels list, its top 1 - Nessus, and many more.

This video was made possible mainly thanks to Euler's number and skubs efforts.

    nice! the editing is really good, recommend putting more practise in your voice overs though but you'll get there eventually
  • @EREnder
    awesome video :D very interesting stuff and its clear you put a lot of effort into it
  • @lumi2030
    a few corrections: 7:53 the 2nd part actually has a value from -128 to 127, it's a signed integer. 8:04 since every binary number (except for 0) starts with a 1, it's actually 1.[mantissa digits]. i know you wrote down the correct formula later though. 10:08 10^308 is just the maximum number you can store. the amount of possible values is just 2^64. 11:45 i know i gave this formula to you but i said it's wrong, though i never notified you about the correct one after i worked it out. it's 2^(ceil(log_2([units/s]/max([fps],60)))+22).

    Yes! I've always seen this in game and wondered how it worked. Thank you so much for making this, your editing is really good :D
  • @Locked101
    This video is really impressive and the research is well done. Finally a good video explaining ssb and the xpos limit!
  • @Toprak135
    Those custom trigger sprites are really cool.
  • Wow, this video is incredibly well made, youre so underrated
  • @Sejdkkk
    Quality editing and video that deserves more attention.
  • @cyznoisgood

    good job on the vid 👍
  • @Selever69420
    HOW ARE YOU NOT POPULAR YOUR EDITING IS SOOO GOOD
  • @fatihramadan7362
    At 1 times speed you travel 10.376 per second but because the first border is at 16 hours of playing we need to multiply that number by 81.600 seconds so i made something in the editor just as fast as light speed and i will make a video about that soon

    10:20 additional reason why robtop does not use 64 bit numbers in his games is because cocos2d does not compile for native x64 code, only x86 code (which is 32 bit processors system uses). These 32 bit processors can operate only with 32 bits instead on 64 bits on x64 processors.

    wow this channel is severely underrated omg
