1 BILLION Seed Purchase

[StarlightStudios]

1 sentence description of the problem:
I can edit a project with a seed purchase and can be charged a billion seeds? (It says it’s debug tho?!?)
Steps to reproduce the problem every time:
(Start in a blank draft if possible)

1. Open this project https://c.gethopscotch.com/p/131xnz66mz
2. Click donate and type a crazy number
3. Also you can edit it
   …

I expected this to happen:
Can’t go into code and max at 200

But instead this happened:
It’s asking for A BILLION seeds

I’ve never seen this before… maybe it’s because the variable is local that is used for the save input?

Edit: it doesn’t take your seeds so it is a debug purchase but I have no idea why

[Crosbyman64]

It’s even weirder that it’s being treated as a debug purchase. Usually that only happens when you try to make a purchase on your own active account.

Edit:

“Debug purchases ignore the 200 seeds max rule”

“Showing as debug purchase on wrong account in some cases”

That’s crazy, that’s a lot of money.

Jokes aside, i think Crosbyman64’s right. it’d be unreasonable to make it so debug purchases have a limit. debugging is about taking stuff apart and seeing how things break when you change things drastically.
Oh, and was the number you entered the same as the purchase price? if not, then it’s probably due to precision errors; unavoidable flaws caused by physical computational limits.

Theres not really a point in having a billion seed debug purchase if you cant actually charge it /lh

also i shouldn’t be able to edit the code, and it shouldn’t show as a debug purchase anyways

No, it wasn’t unless a small amount

That sounds problematic with the edit button appearing on others’ projects – I will take a look at this.

And that is pretty wild with the 200 seed limit not applying to donations – we will need to check that too, even if it shows the debug purchase window.

What does ‘if fern = true’ mean

[StarlightStudios]

I honestly have no clue lol

I thought it was if I had the sub but it already says that on there

[Crosbyman64]

It’s nothing to worry about. There isn’t really a confirmed meaning of fern.

I also asked this question, and got this answer from Yuanyuan:

@Yuanyuan

The tags you see on your About page, such as “fern”, is for internal testing purposes. Nothing much to worry about!
