Notes

Known ErrorsBugfix provided by Bandit: <UL><LI> It is impossible to load the 8th level. This is caused by the following code: <PRE>49328: LD A,(53780) ;get new level number 49331: CP 7 ;last 8th level (1st is number 0) 49333: JR NZ,49336 ;do nothing with level 1-7 49335: INC A ;the problem is here 49336: .... ;rest of the code</PRE> At level 8, the level counter is completely unnecessarily increased and program searches for level 9 instead of 8. This must be some obsolete code from development process left by mistake. Fixed using POKE 49335,0 (NOP-do nothing)</UL> Modified "BUGFIX" file provided by Rafal Miazga.
