Cheers Morkin! It was good to meet you at Spectrum 30 - a worthy representative of the younger generation of Spectrum fans, with some social skills, to boot!

- got rid of the bug where having the data statements for the udgs too early meant that the program crashed on its second run when trying not to initialise the udgs. Solution - move the udg data statements to the very end of the listing, at line 9900

First development in 8 months on this project - changed the mechanics of setting the colour of the walls in line 9720. Instead of one general ink 1 statement, it specifies the ink colour blue for each block printed. This is so I can print black (for a door ...

Actually decided the doors need to be white as the that's the only colour the PC can walk over. Line 9720 is now a bit of a monster as the ink colour needs to be evaluated with [I]INK 1+6*(VAL t$(5)=1)*((j=7)+(j=8))[/I] or similar before each square of ...
