DX-Boulderdash levelformat V1
A DX-Boulder levelmap has 2 major parts: a header and a data section. The Data section contains 100 levels,
each level also with a header and data section:
Structure:
LevelMapheader
Data section
LevelHeader level 0
Data level 0
LevelHeader level 1
Data level 1
.......
LevelHeader level 99
Data level 99
The leveldata section is variable in size, the header sections are fixed.
LevelMapheader:
TLevelMapHdr = record
ID:array[1..14]of char; : so this is 14 bytes and contains the text "StefBoulderMap"
count:byte; : the number of levels in the levelmap (currently not used)
reserved:byte; : not used yet
end;
Size of LevelMapheader: 16 bytes.
LevelHeader
TLevelHdr = record
Borderx:byte; :width off the level
Bordery:byte; :height of the level
Fellowx:byte; :X offset of the player
Fellowy:byte; :Y offset of the player
DiamondsToCollect:byte; : how many diamonds you have to collect
YamContent:array [1..8,1..3,1..3] of byte;
This is 8 times 9 bytes of Objectscodes that indicates what objects a yam turns into when it is hit by a rock.
Only the first 4 are used at the moment.
LevelTime:byte; :The time
MagicWallTime:word; : how long a magic wall stays active: 0 is forever
WheelTime:word; : how long a wheel stays active: 0 is forever
AmoebaRate:word; : how fast amoeba spreads

Reserved:array[1..108] of byte; :room for expansion
end;
Size of LevelHeader: 256 bytes
please note that all "word" values use intel order, so the bytes are swapped
LevelData:
This is an 2 dimentional array of object codes, going from Topleft to Bottomright of the level.
Each object code is 1 byte (this will probably change in the future when I have more than 256 objects)
The array is Levelwidth x levelheight bytes in size . (so its variabel)
( that’s: array [1 ..Levelhdr.BorderX , 1 .. Levelhdr.BorderY] of byte;)
