Maximum score on Return to Wonderland Platinum

[ketza]

Does anyone knows what is the highest # of points you can get when completing all levels

The word "maximum" presumes that all the best solutions are known, which is not the case.

TUTORIAL set: I got 78330. Actually, it was 78340, but one of the levels gave me a timer glitch. Note that this uses some "unconventional" routes and can be extremely hard to achieve.
CLASSIC set: no idea
DELUXE and PLATINUM sets: if you're willing to sit with the timer off on "Payback Time, Once Again" or on "Strange Phenomena" respectively, then the score is potentially infinite. Otherwise, no idea.

CUSTOM sets: since you can make and play as many as you want, the sky is the limit...

Here's my old table:

Tutorial Set
Total: 78340 (but it should be 78330)

World 1:
Level 1: 4600
Level 2: 3210
Level 3: 3560
Level 4: 3350 (this is likely to be a bug, the "normal" score is 3340)
Level 5: 3150
Level 6: 3750
Level 7: 3290
Level 8: 3630
Level 9: 4490
Level 10: 4740

World 2:
Level 1: 5090
Level 2: 4780
Level 3: 4770
Level 4: 6950
Level 5: 3410
Level 6: 3460
Level 7: 2940
Level 8: 3580
Level 9: 2630
Level 10: 2960

Let me rephrase the question.
Does anyone knows how high the point meter goes. Where does it stop.
I'm currently over 15 millions points. Does it stop at 99 millions or 999 millions or does it goes beyond that.

I think it goes on forever...

I would guess it stops at 2^31-1=2147483647, which should be the maximum value of a signed Integer in Blitz (4 Bytes). Only my guess, though; maybe another data type was used.

Yes, I would assume that they would use an integer (or similar). There are also other types that they might have used instead (e.g. float or long).
It is possible that he could have used an unsigned integer (if they exist in Blitz), in which the maximum value would be 2^32-1=4294967295.

An easy way to find out is to turn the timer off and go onto a level like "Strange Phenomena". Then just leave RTW open and wait for the score to increment.
Once the score goes over its type limit, an exception (or an error) will be thrown; most likely causing a crash. This would be the limit to the score.

Thank you all for your wise comments.
If I ever find out I'll let you know
