@Chermo89 Hi. It is only connected to the computer (via the pickit 2 programmer) to apply power to the game. All the information is stored internally on a pic microcontroller. Each level is stored in approx 480 bytes of memory, so if there are 32 that comes to a total of 15360 bytes.The maps were created using excel and then the binary output was copied and pasted into the game code. One day I will post all the info for this on my website (see my channel for the link)

Thanks for your questions!

Thanks for the comments everyone - I appreciate them!

Just letting you know that I have started work on this game again and am programming in the remaining thirty something levels. I am also going to commence work on getting coins, items and bad guys working.

That's great work. I'd be interested to hear about your incentives and motivation for this project.

before they had 8-bit there was 0.5 bit.
