map-maker.rbIf you were curious as to how I generated the var/set instruction pairs for the world[] array in the map.asm example, then look no further, as the full source to this useful tool is listed below.
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# map-maker.rb
# companion ruby script for map.asm
# this will generate the var/set pairs for the specified map
# the starting address can be specified
