Author Topic: What's the diffrence between a bug and a glitch  (Read 462 times)

Seriously. What is it?
Do the player need to do something for it to happend if it's a glitch?

They're the same I think.

for me a glitch is more a random thing, while a bug is more the devs fault

A bug would be if the script is not working like what its suppose to do.

A glitch is when a player finds a certain area in a map and start glitching into it, like going underneath a map wheres no way to get down there, and found that certain area.

Technically, I think a glitch is actually a problem in processing rather than code. No one uses it like that anymore, but a glitch is where something goes wrong that shouldn't. And a bug is just an error from the coder.

A glitch might be where your CPU is adding 2 + 2 and it ends up with 5.

A bug is where the program should have said 2 + 2, but said 2 + 3 instead so you get 5.

"bug" is basically short for "logical error"

"glitch" is what it says it is

It's dependent on the context. In games and higher level programming glitches and bugs are interchangeable terms. In electronics and computer processing a glitch is an unexpected event like a sudden spike to a high signal caused by unstable latches or switch bouncing for example. A bug is usually something that works properly for how it was designed but wasn't designed to actually do what someone wanted.
