The infamous Pac-Man level 256 glitch. The reason for the glitch is that the level counter in the original Pac-Man is stored as an 8-bit integer, meaning the highest value it can hold is 255. The level counter starts with 0 internally, but for calculating the fruit counter it adds 1; however, because of overflow, adding 1 to 255 would result in 0, and the game tries to count fruits from 1, causing the game to attempt to draw 256 fruit to the screen until it overflows to 0. The result is the garbled mess on the right side of the maze, because the screen memory starts with the bottom, followed by the columns from the right side.-Nick- . . #pacman #puckman #8bit #blinky #nintendo #namco #atari #80s #maze #ghost #blipblip #eatingfruit #glitch #basementwizards

Circles of Space sharing 1 Minute of Silent Eye Contact beside my Robson Square Labyrinth in Downtown Vancouver . . .

” Surpresa e alegria ao encontrar assim ,do nada , um rapaz sentado segurando um guarda-chuvas no meio de uma praça fazendo um convite silencioso.

Eu entendi assim: – Vem, faça um contato visual por alguns minutos, em silêncio, pela PAZ. Assim foi, sentei na frente daquele estranho e por alguns momentos estivemos em contato.

Em momentos assim, o contato maior é com você mesmo. Uma reconexão poderosa.

Que bom que algumas pessoas investem seu tempo e seu amor em movimentos tão importantes e singelos como esse.

E você?

O que você tem feito pela paz?

Pode ser um pouquinho, aonde quer que você esteja.

Pratique.”
