I was trying to debug some code so I modified my score routine to include score = score + 10000 every time a specific event happens so I could count how many times it was occuring. There's one specific situation where instead of adding 10,000 to the score, the score displays a score of 17. Since 10000 is binary for 17 I don't think this is a coincidence. Is there something about the score routine that I need to be aware of (like not adding more than 256 at a time)?.

Thanks!

You can add more than 255 (the largest value of a byte) to the score, so there's probably something else going on. It will be easier to help if you post your code.
