Well, if you're just storing the maps, I usually compress stored maps 
into strings, as it saves space.  But with this compression, you lose 
speed, and so for the active map its best to have it stored in a matrix 
while it is being used. As for code, well I program for the 83[-], so I 
couldn't help you there.  But it couldn't hurt to try your own hand at 
hacking something together either.
