The result of such behavior also includes changing the tile itself, to create items out of nowhere. If Chip's x-coordinate was 21 and the data at [8, 32] is reset, an [[exit]] will be buried at [8, 0]. Note that most data resets are limited, as they only reach up to one. The level number and Chip's coordinates are generally the most useful. | The result of such behavior also includes changing the tile itself, to create items out of nowhere.

A peculiar effect occurs when performing data resetting in level 49 of a level set. Recall that 49 is the index of a clone machine. Therefore [0, 32], which stores the current level's number, will store (effectively) a clone machine. Performing the steps to reset [0, 32] will in fact not reset the level number as it does in any other level. It will instead clone the | A peculiar effect occurs when performing data resetting in level 49 of a level set. Recall that 49 is the index of a clone machine.

The same effect can be achieved if the level set has exactly 49 levels. In this case, [2, 32] will hold the number 49 for any level in the level set. | The same effect can be achieved if the level set has exactly 49 levels.
