The 1st really woudn't be that hard. You could use just the buffer, rather
than the map whenever you reference it.
For example, if each map is 8x8 and you have 1 byte per square (not too
familiar with bomberman, but aren't there more than just 1 type of block?),
maybe something like this:
Level1:
.db 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
.db 1,0,0,1,0,1,0,1
.db 1,0,1,2,0,1,0,1
.db 1,0,1,1,0,1,0,1
.db 1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1
.db 1,0,0,1,1,0,0,1
.db 1,0,0,1,1,0,0,1
.db 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
LevelBuffer:
.db 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
;(7 more times)
then you could use this code to load the level:
ld hl,Level1 ;source
ld de,LevelBuffer ;destination
ld bc,64 ;# bytes
ldir
and then use LevelBuffer when you reference the level.
