- orbital-decay 8y agoAn ascension in -2147483648 turns by Khaos is another thing to note in the table. Did he really wait for 2 billion turns before ascending to overflow that counter?!

- timClicks 8y agoI wonder if someone will figure out how to overflow the score counter.
- bhaak 8y agoOverflowing is actually not that hard in NetHack. Score gets rather meaningless in NetHack as killing monsters always yields the same number of score points. So if you grind long enough, every high score is possible and overflowing the score counter with pudding farming was quite easy on 3.4.3 on 32 bit systems (the score counter is a long). What players have done is a MAX_INT game or ascension. That needs some preparation and the MAX_INT game is easier to do than the ascension, as the ascension gives you additional score points, so you have to anticipate this. There are even 64 bit MAX_INT ascensions, although those are done of course with exploiting some bugs. https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Notable_ascensions https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Notable_ascensions
- minikomi 8y ago> paste it into NetHack's terminal, and wait approximately 19 days. Thanks for the laugh
- kazinator 8y ago> If NetHack is compiled for a 64-bit platform, the "long" type will not wrap around until it gets to 9,223,372,036,854,775,808. The above trick still works in principle, but will take a few hundred million years to complete. Another laugh.
