Re: A83: Joltima Background
justin explained all of this on his site. The maps are compressed, having
4bits per tile normally, and 1 bit per tile in cave (either floor or wall)
the map looks like this uncompressed, with each byte corresponding to a
different sprite (a nice rhyme to embed it in your head)
.db 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
.db 1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1
.db 1,0,2,2,0,0,3,0,1
.db 1,0,2,4,0,5,5,5,5
.db 1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1
.db 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
