Doors and gates limit...

For the following world: PWsBacSvvfcEI. I quickly ran at the 999 limit for doors and gates... I must be able to set the doors and gates over 999 for the world to work...

Re: Doors and gates limit...

how the hell do you use 4000 doors for a death farming world?

What I mean is that I would want to be able to put integers over 999 on a door or gate...

(They mean death doors, not switches, the switches are just a representation)

4-digit numbers can fit perfectly by replacing the current number font with a 3*5 font. However, to make even better use of the block space, we can allow 6-digit numbers.

How are you supposed to show the door argument without having the text cover more than the block or force the user to use inspect tool to check for it?

honestly why not switch to base-36 for IDs and numbers on blocks to allow much larger numbers with same amount of digits

Re: Doors and gates limit...

you can always set switches as values of 2^n
by this, switch 0 has a value of 1, switch 1 = 2, switch 2 = 4...

use a binary counter whenever the player dies

if you're not all too familiar with the concept of binary representations, here's a layman's guide. if not, the following should make sense
1 death would equal 0 on
2 deaths would equal 0 off, 1 on
10 deaths would equal 3 on, 2 off, 1 on, 0 off, and so on

to have a 1000 death "gate", you would only require 10 switches! If you wanted to use all 1000 switch numbers available (2^1000), the player would have to die 1.071509 x 10^301 times to reach overflow
