Re: A83: Re: I am new
8 bit numbers range from 0-255
16 bit numbers go till 65534 I think..
that's a matter of math.. take the binary values.. i think it goes like
2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256
something like that.. that's 1 byte.. max is 256.. bah.. i don't know how
to explain :) a 16 bit number can hold an 8 bit number.. Let's see.. for
highscores, use 16 bit.. for x and y coords, 8 bit would work.. depends on
what you are doing.
