* I got "Overflow in line 1410" if I tried to construct a new level.
I had to remove the integer % in line 1410.

Before :
1410 FOR i%=FNadr(level)TO FNadr(level+1)-1:POKE i%,0:NEXT:FOR i=1 TO 5:top5$(level,i)="?.?.?":top5(level,i)=0:NEXT:RETURN

After :
1410 FOR i=FNadr(level)TO FNadr(level+1)-1:POKE i,0:NEXT:FOR i=1 TO 5:top5$(level,i)="?.?.?":top5(level,i)=0:NEXT:RETURN


The worst thing was that listing 4 was too big for Amstrad's memory, so it was impossible to poke data.

Only option was to split the file into 2 (Listing 5 + 6) make a data loader and save them as
SAVE "SR1.PIC",B,&61A0,&F60
SAVE "SR2.PIC",B,&7100,&1120
Next step - merge "SR1.PIC" and "SR2.PIC" into one file "SR.PIC"
10 Memory &619f
20 LOAD "SR1.PIC":LOAD "SR2.PIC"
30 SAVE "SR.PIC",B,&61A0,&2080
Running the game but it didn't work.

Then in listing 1 - line
1110 images=24999 -(&61A7) that images were loaded in & 61A7 not & 61A0 as listed in Listing 4 line
1000 DATA 61A0,33,2C,30,30,2C,30,30,09,1949 thus the first byte must be &09 and not &33

10 Memory & 619F
20 LOAD "SR1.PIC":LOAD "SR2.PIC"
30 SAVE "SR.PIC",B,&61A7,&2079
Yes Working

It took some time to figure out the first 7 bytes in listing 4 should not be used.

Another option was to read the German notes and use the program CPC "Comfortable Program For Code Input" on page 87 of the same magazine. It also says that listing 4 starts in & 61A7

Real men do not read instructions, but spend a lot of time on figuring it out for ourself. Ha Ha.
