256

256 (two hundred fifty-six) is a positive integer equal to \(2^{8} = 2^{2^3}\).
It is found commonly in computer science, being the the number of different values expressible in 8 bits (a byte). For that reason internally stored values in a game which are not programmed to exceed a byte encounter an overflow and may either loop back to a value of 0 or glitch an aspect of the game. One instance of this is in the classic arcade game , which glitches out after level 255.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umYvFdU54Pohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-Man#Kill_screen
