The maximum value for a four-digit decimal number is 10x10x10x10 - 1 = 9999, not 9x9x9x9 = 6561. The maximum value for an unsigned double word is analogously 256x256x256x256 - 1 = 4,294,967,295, not 255x255x255x255 = 4,228,250,625. |
Unfortunately you cant have 256x256x256x256 in a game, it is impossible.
The 256x256x256x256 is combinations :P
like 0x0x0x0 would be 1st
0x0x0x1 would be 2nd and so on..
There is no 8bit hex value for 256, it has to be 16bit if u want 256.
