why on earth are you adding those 3 numbers?

When he turns the game over at 1 million it properly tracks the score...just loses the millionths place.

so in your above numbers you ripped him off

1,000,000 - 999,300 = 700

and

2,000,000 - 1,999,950 = 50

so a total of 750 points...

now add that 750 to your number which is 2,061,850+750 =

2,062,600 which matches the final score you actually saw.

62,600...plus the 2 score turnovers at 1 and 2 million.

...so he actually ripped himself off of 600 points assuming your reported numbers before the million turnovers are correct.

So you mean he made the 750 points but the game don't show them ?

999300 is the hi score he made when he reache the first 1M and 999950 is the hi score he made when he reache 2M (he beat 999300). So I'm sure of these numbers.

I haven't see this case before so I don't know how we rule it at marp :)

it's like almost all games handle score turnover.

If I have a score if 999,500 and kill something worth 1,000 points I earn all of those 1,000 points but now if the score turns over at 1 million my score will be "500" so the "high score" recorded is only "999,500".

Now when I reach the 2 million mark, if I happen to get lucky and get closer to the turnover mark, let's say "999,950" then the high score will reflect that cuz it's higher than 999,500.

If I earn that 1,000 points again after that "999,950" showing then my score is really 2,000,950 but will only show as 950 in the game.

You still are earning all of the points. Don't pay any attention to the "high score". The game is only reflecting the highest number seen in the score for that.

Tons of games track this the exact same way.

Hmm, the score on the page stay 2 062 000. Someone can change it for 2 062 600, then I'll confirmed it.

Thanks
