Integer overflow in emitter strength

[Lord_Farin]

In the impossible code maps forum, I spotted the map 'omnomnomnomnomn' which has 14 emitters, with a total strength exceeding the Java constant Integer.MAX_VALUE. This yields a negative average emitter strength. Just thought I should notify you.

Hmm? the game is coded in flash, so i don't get how it would overflow the java constant.

also, i don't see any overflow happening in that specific map?

This is a known issue that occurs when the total intensity of all emitters on a code map exceeds 2 147 483 647. There are other scenarios in which you can overflow the data structure as well.

I am sorry for the mixup. Probably Flash has the same maximal integer value.

This has been fixed in the current beta build and won't be a problem in the next game drop.
It is indeed an overflow of a signed integer type (and 'int' in AS3).

Are there any of these maps that are actually possible?  As in no surface emitter like the one he just posted?

I wanna kill a lot o creeper :P

Almost all maps are possible. Just have a look at the Code Map board.
