Feel free to edit the code, to create your own game. Use a hex editor.

The level data, for bricks, is listed at $3010, $3810. The first for spikes and enemies and pickups. The second for bricks.

Each Level is divided into 16 "rooms", and each room divided into 16 columns. Thus, one page ($100) per level. Each byte represents one column of info.

Spike/Enemy/Pickup metatile compresses to...(binary)

0000 0000	x
01		enemy spawn
10		throwing weapon pickup
11		energy refill
  00 ----	x
  01 ----	on floor
  10 ----	on lower platform
  11 ----	on upper platform

0000 1000	draws zigzag on upper platform
0000 0100	draws zigzag on lower platform
0000 0010	draws zigzag on the floor
0000 0001	draws spikes on the floor

So, $50 will spawn an enemy on the floor. Note, the code only allows 2 enemies to be on the screen at the same time, any more than that it will not spawn.

For example... $09 will draw a high zigzag and a floor spike.

Brick metatile compresses to...(binary)

1000 0000	draws 2 bricks at top
0100 0000	draws 2 bricks near top
0010 0000	draws upper platform
0001 0000	draws 2 bricks mid
0000 1000	draws 2 bricks mid
0000 0100	draws lower platform
0000 0010	draws 2 bricks at 2 from bottom
0000 0001	draws 2 bricks at the bottom
