- Resolved the bug where you couldn't change direction towards a barrier if you were next to it by moving the change of variable d (direction) forward to line 2030 and re-printing the character at the start of the main game loop at line 2010.

- Reduced the amount of line-numbers, to make the listing easier to follow in BASin. I think this also makes GOTOs and GOSUBs faster, though I'm no expert so may be spreading misinformation . . .
