Actually, it is part of the computer programming. 255 is the largest number you can represent with an 8 digit binary number (2^8 = 256, but 255 is the max, since you start at 0).
Yep yep. You're absolutely right. But..... I'm sure there's a way around this. Maybe through a decision and then loop it back. Like, if score = 255 then you would have to create a macro so that when it reaches 255 or gets past it, it will keep counting to what ever number you would set it to.
it wouldn't bother me if they just cut off the score after 50-0 or something like that.
show a little mercy
