A82: Re: Re: Assembly-82 Digest V1 #702
Boulderdash uses the memory before GRAPH_MEM for temporary storage during
the game. This area contains the dTbl value and other information like that.
The value you mention is in the middkle of the area used by boulder dash so
it is likely that other values are altered too.
I had a look at the boulderdash source code, but could find any problems.
The area which is modified is backed up before it is altered and restored
before you exit the game. Since you have to start playing for the problem to
occur, there has to be a line of code in the game which modifes the last
half of TEXT_MEM.
