Critical Error

Post by ShardFire »

Level 100

Your level is over 100, and we won't show the board. It's not like you're solving it by hand anyway... The data are still in the source.

That means it's safe for me to look at it.

Around there the levels stopped displaying correctly, and by 513 they would cause Adobe Crashplayer to lock up my browser...

You missed the point slightly. (Look at it again). Anyway, I tried level 99 and it looked like this:

So maybe the cut off should be even earlier...

hmmn, that does look pretty buggy.

the level limit is more to stop the browser crashing than to produce a playable board. i think it's fun to look at big levels even if you need a computer to solve them.

Usually it errors when you submit a solution to level 514 but I guess the error happened for you when you sent the 511 solution, maybe there's been an update and the limits have changed?

After level 510 the server seemed to hate me:

After posting 510: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 94371840 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 24 bytes) in /home/hacker_apache/html/hacker/html/util/gamebase.php on line 268

After posting 511: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 94371840 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 8192 bytes) in /home/hacker_apache/html/hacker/html/runaway/runaway.php on line 102

After posting 512: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 94371840 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 24 bytes) in /home/hacker_apache/html/hacker/html/util/game
base.php on line 268

After posting 513: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 94371840 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 24 bytes) in /home/hacker_apache/html/hacker/html/util/gamebase.php on line 268

However, my solutions must have registered, since I was able to use the "Go To" button to advance the level - it just did not advance without that extra click (and confused the heck out of my poor solver!)

Fatal error

I don't think this is the correct topic to be talking about this, but I noticed the same issue as contagious and Dionadar.
I sent a PM to Adum to warn him about it.

I get this error as well when I try to submit level 510. Has this error been fixed at some point? I noticed that several people have gotten 513 since this was posted.

If the solution you submit is correct, you pass the level, you just don't get it updated as a result of the GET request. However, you can manually change it, so it is still possible to reach 513 if you haven't already.
I warned Adum about this error and he said he was going to have a look at it, but evidently he hasn't fixed it yet.
