Take a gander at the type of the 'level' variable. It's a signed char,
meaning it has 8 bits. 2^8 = 256.

This just goes to illustrate that a major in CS does not mean you know how
to program (not to say Shane doesn't know). College CS courses, in my
experience, teach more theory and algorithm than actual programming.
Which isn't necessarily bad, as experience provides the rest of the
knowledge.
