Merry Chrismas dudes! I wrote a little piece of code that decode and encode data using the xor/rle method. So now all I have to do is to redraw the sprites for the level names and see if there's enough room for them :) [edit] $2625 holds the live count. And if you put $05 at $2617 you'll end up at t...

Tadam! The insertion program works
I made a little test by trying to stuff the Hamlet monologue in the intro.

I run some tests yesterday and fixed the bpe font routine. I used a dummy script that fills the entire text area. And... Everything worked fine.
This evening I'll run a test with a human readable text instead of a letter soup. And I'll try to finish/clean up the insertion program.
