  • Alternate Title: Everyone is stupid except me
    TL;DW: The max value in the function used for random numbers in the game engine, Clickteam Fusion, overflows after 65,535, meaning Golden Freddy is actually running Random(34464) and Shadow Bonnie is running Random(16960). Also, because Clickteam Fusion only generates 16-bit integers, the Random Number Generator can only represent probabilities out of 65,536, which can be pretty inaccurate. Taking this into account means that Golden Freddy is actually 1/32,768 and Shadow Bonnie is 1/16,384. There was also a glitch with the game engine on Android that caused the Random Number Generator to output incorrect numbers, which made Golden Freddy impossible to encounter normally (on Android only).

    Additional Notes and context:
    Note 1 (0:26): While I sort of imply that the issue with Golden Freddy's odds is a glitch, it seems to be an intentional (or at least known) limit of the game engine. It's an odd limit, and isn't immediately obvious, so I don't fault anyone for not knowing.
    Note 2 (2:55): You can calculate exactly what number it overflows to by doing modulo 65536.
    Note 3 (3:40): In order for Enemy Snowball attack damage to overflow, your health needs to exceed 65,535, which is only possible at level 13,087 or above. Because counters (including exp) are limited to 999,999,999, natural character levels are limited to below 10,000.
    Note 4 (4:32): We're only interested in errors with Random(x) being out of the normal range, and Jack-O-Chica is the only one that both directly uses Random(AI) and functions below 1 AI. There are other animatronics that function below 1 AI, but they aren't affected by this limitation.
    Note 5 (5:50): This bias is equivalent to modulo bias, but because the implementation actually uses a bitshift, the specific numbers that are affected are different/spread out, and the average is barely impacted.
    Note 6 (6:09): In this case, I obviously wouldn't actually consider implementing rejection sampling. Changing the RNG to use 32-bit (or just using the built-in rand functions) would alleviate any significant bias.
    Note 7 (6:40): My phrasing of "simulating the RNG" might be concerning, but I just mean calculating the number of RNG seeds that would cause Golden Freddy/Shadow Bonnie to spawn, not simulating the RNG millions of times, which would be inaccurate.
    Note 8 (6:57): This was actually found before the RNG bias, but it flows best when it's placed after it {:}
    Note 9 (7:43): Woo, the actual implementation! This is an implementation of a Linear Congruential Generator (LCG) with the parameters a = 31415, c = 1, and mod 65536. I can generally consider all seeds to be equally likely because the chosen starting seed is based on your computer time in milliseconds, and there's nothing too wrong with these particular parameters.
    One thing to notice, though, is that the period for all seeds is m/4 or 16,384. This means that all seeds can be grouped into 4 long loops. For anything as/more common than 1/16,384, there will be at least 1 chance in every group, but Golden Freddy is 1/32,768 and groups 1 and 4 do not include him. This should not impact his odds much, as he only ever checks his RNG 535 times, and the starting seed is initialized every time you enter a new frame/new night.
    This is, however, actually an issue in the modern Clickteam Fusion Windows runtime, as some error is causing it to only generate starting seeds in groups 1 and 4, and Golden Freddy wouldn't be possible if the game was updated. This is not a problem in any other runtime, so the remasters are not affected by this, not even the Microsoft Store version, as that uses the UWP runtime.

    *Check the description for extra notes and details, and for the list of background music throughout the video.*
    There are subtitles provided, and also one (telegraphed and silent) jumpscare at 4:41.
    Any questions are welcome, but this video is the best general explanation I could create.
    *FAQ:*
    *Q:* _What's MB2/Mystery Box 2 Jack-O-Bonnie?_
    *A:* Mystery Box 2 (MB2) is a move in FNaF World that swaps out your party members with 4 random ones. Scott made a slight miscalculation, and the maximum character number was 41, which didn't even exist when the game launched. It being so rare meant it never got patched, and after update v1.2 dropped, Jack-O-Bonnie became character #41.
    *Q:* _Why are the probabilities powers of 2?_
    *A:* They're simplified fractions of 4/65536 and 2/65536; as the way it's setup, the probabilities of all the random stuff in Clickteam Fusion are out of 65536. They just happen to be powers of 2 though, they could've been 3/65536 or 10/65536.
    *Q:* _Did the Android glitch also affect iOS?_
    *A:* No, it was exclusive to Android. You can actually verify this by trying to find old videos of Golden Freddy on Android vs. iOS. It's not that hard to find people finding it on iPhone, while every video on Android just shows the 1/9/8/7 Easter egg.
    *Q:* _Is that The Cure - Close To Me playing?_
    *A:* Yeah? Kinda, it's a SiIvaGunner rip that uses the FFPS soundfont: czcams.com/video/r6-R2GAskWo/video.html

    I'm sorry, it only generates 16-bit integers??? That's incredible. I remember seeing the unreasonably high odds of some of the easter eggs and frankly being shocked that we still saw them in content creator playthroughs as often as we did. Guess that explains a lot.
    The Android bug stands out to me significantly, as well. When I documented all the old mobile ports, I did so using iOS figuring there wouldn't be any substantial differences other than the microtransactions. I did notice that it took me significantly longer to get Golden Freddy to show up in FNaF 1's old port, but I just attributed that to possibly being because of faster nights, or just from bad luck. Because of that, I never believed any of the claims that Golden Freddy didn't exist on Android for a single second, since, y'know...everyone was really eager to guess randomly back then. Thank goodness we don't do that now, huh? Imagine if everyone guessed at something big like, for example, Fire Escape Ending requirements!
    Great video as always, and thanks for setting the record straight!
    (Also, using the negative overflow bug in FFPS to help explain the concept was honestly really slick. I need to start taking notes from your content it seems, lol)

    • @itztaken
      @itztaken  Před 5 měsíci +223

      You would have been right to use either port for any of the games after FNaF1, as they use the exact same MFA, just using different Clickteam exporters. But hold on, when did you document the old mobile ports 😅
      Anyway, I tried to make the video mirror my own process of figuring out the why and how of it all. When Folmic mentioned a potential error with the RNG, that FFPS glitch was what I immediately went to, and I'm glad it translated well {:}

      That was back when the tools to fully do that for the later games weren't public, so I felt a sort of obligation to notate all those things. Now that others can do it and there are great content creators that can uncover that information for everyone, I'm just always excited to see what the experts find lol.

He mentioned that Tru3P1ay3r alleged that there was some limit of ~40k with Clickteam RNG, but we quickly figured out it was actually an overflow, which adjusted the odds to ~1 in 36.

      if i explained bad: in fnaf 2 by default you flip over you cam on and off several times, more than in fnaf 1 average night, due the freedom of no energy usage, and as the gamr forces you because puppet everytime

    Absolutely love the "you could use char, but... please don't" note at 7:38. For context, char (short for "character" as you might guess) as a data format is an unsigned 16-bit data type which *can* technically be used to store numbers, but what it's *actually* intended for is storing *text,* or more specifically individual letters, as the name implies.
    Programming languages tend to treat textual data types very differently from numerical ones, so actually *using* a type like "char" for storing numbers would require some type-conversion gymnastics, hence the "please don't". (It's interesting to point out regarding this subject that Java actually doesn't support unsigned *anything* for numbers. Every numerical data type is signed!)

If a level 1 Pokemon in that EXP group gained less then (I think it was) 64 or 63, it'd overflow and level the Pokemon up to level 100 instantly

  • @camwoodstock
    @camwoodstock Před 5 měsíci +18

    this is kind of just a guess, but the reason that the games are capped to 16-bit numbers MIGHT be related to how Clickteam originated from a VERY, VERY OLD LINEAGE of game creator software, all the way back to Klik & Play. Klik & Play was literally built to run on *Windows 3.x*, which was indeed 16-bit!
    given that the underlying engine hasn't really been updated TOO much nowadays (clickteam has been surprisingly keen on backwards compatibility with project files), it makes sense that the standard variables are still in 16-bit.

    • @itztaken
      @itztaken  Před 5 měsíci +10

      That does seem to be potentially why, as the limitation dates back to at least 2006, though the implementation does use 32-bit integers. Overall, I don't see why the RNG wasn't updated to 32-bit in the decades since, as the only way that'd break backwards compatibility is if the program relied on undefined behaviour.

    This reminds me of the nuclear Gandhi glitch from the Civilization series. In one of the earlier games, the exact same negative number glitch happened, and when the programming generated a similarly massive number, Gandhi always went nuclear despite his commitment to peace. It’s become such a meme now that even in later games that avoided the glitch, the team still references “Nuclear Gandhi.” Civ 6 even gives him an 80% chance of having the secret agenda “Nuke Happy,” where the AI seeks to develop nuclear weapons and likes/dislikes others who do/don’t

    Here's another fun fact: There's actually terms for this exact type of bug. We call them interger underflow and interger overflow respectively. Both result in the same outcome, but underflow occurs when the number is less than the minimum interger limit, and overflow occurs when it's more than the maximum integer limit.

    • @itztaken
      @itztaken  Před 5 měsíci +7

      It's actually still called an overflow even if it's going in the negative direction. Underflow is a term that specifically applies to floating-point numbers that are too small to be represented, and turn into 0.

  • @ghb323
    @ghb323 Před 4 měsíci

    @5:50 65535 MOD 100 = 35, so in this case, a shorten RNG range will have an output of 0-35 occurring more often than 35-100. Range 0-35 will each integer be 1/656 chance while 36-100 will each integer be 1/655 chance.
    Calculated by dividing 65535 by 100, which gives out 655.35, or 655 remainder 35. We have 655 complete ranges of 100-size, with an incomplete range size of 36. Because Modulo outputs a number strictly lower than the denominator, the numbers in the lower part of the range happens more often.

      Yeah, sure! I think it's some pretty interesting stuff, but I should say though, I'm always a bit wary of information degradation in the FNaF community. Especially for the technical information, FNaF CZcams has felt like a game of broken telephone. For this video in particular, it was very important to me that the script and visual presentation would make it as easy as possible to grasp the concepts and reasoning behind it (it's a rather large claim after all). So, if you need any clarification or additional details, I'd be glad to help.

      Not particularly. FNaF is a pretty unique niche that has a pretty big fanbase, somewhat mysterious inner workings, very easily decompiled games, and a relatively few people that actually examine them. If I could easily decompile At Dead Of Night, I would love to look into it, but from what I know, it'd be pretty difficult.

    Speaking of Golden Freddy just not working in the Android version, I wonder what else changes between versions. Recently I got my sister fnaf for the switch as a gag gift. We played night 1, and strangely enough Foxy managed to make it all the way into his ready to run state, but never did actually run (he was stuck in that state for a while). I thought Foxy never moved until night 2, am I completely wrong?

    • @itztaken
      @itztaken  Před 5 měsíci +4

      Yeah, you're wrong. Foxy _starts_ at 0 AI on Night 1, but increases to 1 AI at 3 AM and 2 AI at 4 AM. The ports shouldn't have any major changes between versions, as Clickteam was told not to. There are additional features, differing controls, and small mistakes/glitches here and there, but to my knowledge, they are 99% identical.

    the first one looks like something quite easy to fix, just make it generate random numbers more times

    • @itztaken
      @itztaken  Před 5 měsíci +1

      That would be easy if you were working with a _True_ Random Number Generator, but computers usually have to settle for _Pseudo_ Random Number Generators, which are entirely determined by the seed. If you generated 2 random numbers one after the other, the second number would always be determined by the first, and you still wouldn't be able to represent any probabilities more precise or smaller than 1/65,536.
      It would be possible to reseed the RNG with some user input or the user's system time, but that'd be needlessly complex. The best solution would to just use an extension like MT Random that uses a better algorithm and outputs a larger range of values.
      Anyways, it makes no sense for Clickteam to have limited the RNG to 16-bit values, as all other numbers in Clickteam Fusion use 32-bit, and the only way you'd know that the Random() function was different, would be to dig into the documentation and see the small note at the end.
