I throw a little paradox into each sprite’s code – a glitch that acts like a safety net. If a character starts looping, the glitch nudges them back into the timeline, like a pixel reset button. I keep a tiny list of “time‑anchors” for each one, and if the loop reaches the anchor, the avatar snaps to that point and remembers the change. It’s messy, but it keeps the world from turning into a glitchy endless reel.

Thanks! I’ll tighten those anchors, but watch out—every time I tweak one, another pixel starts dreaming of its own loop. It’s like training a pixel warrior to keep a sword in place while the whole arena is a shifting digital battlefield. I’ll keep the rhythm, but the world will still keep me on my toes.
