Time to calculate how many different playthroughs the level can have: First off, Colon said that there's 32 randomized gameplay chunks in the level. Each of the chunks has 4 variants. To calculate the total number of gameplay seeds is pretty simple: 4 ^ 32. Next, there are also 8 randomized effect chunks, which I assume to also have 4 variants each. The number of effect seeds goes to 4 ^ 8. Finally, at the end of the level, there are 3 coin paths that must be taken - the top, middle and bottom coins - which essentially give you 3 endings. This brings up the total number of playthroughs to: 3 * (4 ^ 40). A whopping 3,626,777,458,843,887,524,118,528 or 3.63 septillion playthroughs! TL;DR: There are more possible playthroughs in this level than there are possible 3 x 3 Rubik's cube combinations (43 quintillion, nearly 100,000 times less).
That's ~2^81.3, an 83-bit numeral! Modern PRNGs usually use 128bit seeds and states, but this is still impressive considering 64b PRNGs are still useful
So here our cube finds himself in the middle of a 1.0 level. But this 1.0 level is no ordinary 1.0 level. Beacuse as soon as the cube dies and retries the level, stuff becomes interesting.
actually, this was originally a 2.2 level which used the random trigger. (you can access the editor via a hacked verison of gd subzero). i ended up getting the idea of moving it over to 2.1, just because, well, i could.
you DO know that a seed is a term for a procedural number right? and you DO know that a chunk is not just a minecraft loading thing but also a literal defined word right?
Imagine if in 2.2, RobTop adds a setting called chunk borders which adds a line to every level that marks when a second passes. That would probably be useless but I'd like to see that feature!
First Serponge makes Master game without the 2.2 left and right levels, then all those 2.1 levels that shift directions without a warp, now this. I'm starting to wonder if maybe 2.1 has everything 2.2 has but in a less practical way
The upside of having to make all the 2.2 yourself is that the recent section isn't infected with even crappier levels containing it, the move trigger nerds can stay with themselves and you don't need to implement it to get rated
This video reminds me of scrambelcraft,what i mean is a randomizer mod in minecraft,loots,chest loots are randomized and not only loot,also recipe and world generation
this is very amazing and the randomizer makes sense for me to understand so thx also please make a V2 with like a wave or ball pls id love to see that kepp up the good work
I swear, Colon. You never cease to amaze with what you can bring to life given the right tools! I’ve always thought of what it would be like to create a level that is different every time you play, and wondered how they could be brought to life. I never would have thought to use RNG based on your inputs to generate the level chunk by chunk. I was thinking more of building multiple different complete level layouts, then having one RNG decide the whole thing. This method is FAR superior as you get a continuously unique experience throughout the level with multiple variants of chunks each attempt. As always, fantastic work! I’m really looking forward to more tech-based content from you in the future. I hope you gain much more experience to create more amazing contraptions! You have some mind blowing potential! Don’t let it go to waste! ;)
32 chunks, 4 variants: this means we have 4 possible variants for the first chunk, then for each of them we have 4 possible variants for the second chunk, etc..., So the possibilities are 4x4x4x4x.... So 4^32, which means colon has just made 18446744073709551616 different levels, more then anybody else in the entire world. This means that if we want to see every single possible combination, every person in the world has to play the level more than 2 billions times (supposing an already completed seed won't come up more than once, which is basically impossible...). This makes the level even more astonishing than it already is.
Memes aside, I actually like this style of videos and I hope that you'd actually make more. This is very technical and informative to watch, especially to newer people who are still getting into creating levels. I still hope Robtop releases 2.2 soon
22.09.2023 16:29 I found your level in GD Lite version on page 145😊I'm so happy today! It took me either 1 or 44 attempts to beat it and now I'm replaying to get the 3rd coins in this level

CEAVE GAMING YEAH! at 4:10 you said "See what I did there?" You said that cause ceave always says "But its actually surprising simple" Or "But its actually surprisingly complicated" and I give your references 5 fuzzys out of 5
I like to code in my spare time and I could never figure out how to make a randomizer. I looked at tutorials but they didn't help. And when I wasn't expecting I just learnt how to make a randomizer.😁thank you😁
You better be happy I spent 20 minutes trying to get this: “this has Nothing to do with geometry dash I just wanted to incorporate celeste into the video” 3:38
Interesting, I also found a way to make “true randomizer” that requires no input from the player to function, but it only yields an output of 1 out of 2 possible outputs, not 3
This is super cool. Nicely made!
