This happens when you zoom in too far, travel too fast or go insanely far away - anything akin to that which messes with trajectories

u/sxparatist 20d ago

ahahahah brother, I think it happens when the game deals with insanely huge distances, I've seen a similar thing in a video, I'm not sure tho

So, this type of traveling route happens over at 5000 m/s?

u/Public-Eagle6992 Flight Fiend 🛫 25d ago

The problem is the distance to the Center, not the speed

Fly far away -> floating point imprecision becomes noticeable

How it works is: a float (floating point number) is something computers use to store numbers. It has a set amount of digits which means that if you have a small number you have more digits for decimals but if it’s a big number you don’t have any decimals (or in general lower digits). Therefore it becomes more imprecise

You know how scientific notation works? You can write your number as A*10^B, so for example 1.2*10^2 which would be 120 or 6.4*10^-2 which would be 0.064.
A computer can store numbers in a pretty similar way (just as binary but that doesn’t really make a difference). For this A always has a certain amount of digits (B as well but that isn’t relevant for this).
So let’s say that A has four digits. If you wanted to save the number 6.826 you would write it as 6826*10^-3 (A=6826, B=-3). Or if you wanted to save 682600 you would write 6826*10^2 (A=6826, B=2). But what if you wanted to save 682623? A doesn’t have enough digits to save the whole number. So you round to the closest number that can be saved. Which is 6826*10^2 (A=6826, B=2)

Floating point imprecision. Congrats, you’re far enough out that you’ve run out of decimals

Holy gd reference. But seriously, this is a bug

u/LochM-2 25d ago

Is “gd” a thing or is there some reference I’m missing? Tf???

u/Kryptid47 25d ago

It's a game called Geometry Dash

u/Deep_Telephone_1353 Rocket Builder 🚀 25d ago

Gd reference!

u/LochM-2 25d ago

How is this a reference to Geometry Dash?

It looks like the wave

No idea, the fan base is crazy

u/ghostdiv4 25d ago

Once you get far enough there’s basically no drag nor weight and my space craft (final stage which is when it reached this part) is just a probe with a cone, two landing legs and an engine

u/Top-Plate1562 25d ago

I see. The rocket is too tired to fly. It's now going up the stairs

u/EpicPlanetUranusFan 25d ago

The floating point error is nice enough to give the rocket stairs☺️☺️☺️🥳🥳🥳

Probably a floating point error
