Apple II Dungeon Mapper -> C64 Dungeon Mapper

I'm going to try to port the Apple II Dungeon Mapper that Quantum Reality found to the C64.

I'll need help with this project.

First thing for me to do for you is to LIST the program into ASCII-readable format so you can punch it in under C64 BASIC. My Apple ][ emulator lets me cut/paste text into the emulator which drastically simplifies Applesoft editing

So I'll get that for you today.

Fantabulous.

Ok, done. I've put it in an encrypted ZIP file because while there's a provision in US copyright law that permits the limited archival and dissemination of out-of-date software, I'd prefer that Google didn't pick this one up anyway (and I've no idea about Canadian provisions).

Grab it here. I'll kill this link after approx 1 week.

A few notes:

1. You will need those specialized hi-res routines from COMPUTE! magazine since HPLOT commands in Applesoft are specific to its ability to handle high resolution graphics (for a 280x192 screen).

2. You will need to replace the CALLs to the track/sector reader by some other method of loading dungeon files in the C64.

3. You will need to cross-reference the hard-coded DATA statements that incicate for what byte value a partcular wall-pattern means to your program.
