Manic Miner patch ================= This patch program will convert Manic Miner so that you can have the following features: * Kong beast * Eugene * Skylabs * Vertical guardians * Solar power in any of the rooms. As supplied, the patch program contains a standard Manic Miner game; press N to start. If you want to patch a different Manic Miner variant, then press BREAK (CAPS+SPACE) and re-run it (you may need to modify the first few lines since it assumes the standard Manic Miner tape file). Once the patch has been applied, the items listed above will be controlled by a room's "border" byte, at 45683 + 1024 * room. The byte is now formed: Bits 0-2: Border Bit 3: Solar power Bit 4: Kong Beast Bit 5: Room may have vertical guardians Bit 6: Skylab landing bay (bits 3-5 ignored and assumed to be 0) Bit 7: Eugene In Manic Miner, the only valid combinations are: (Solar Power + vertical guardians) and (Kong Beast + vertical guardians). As far as I can see, (Solar Power + Eugene) works as well. The others are left as experiments for you to try. This patch was written against the Bug-Byte engine. I do not know what it will do to the Software Projects version.
