Also, the letters M and W are enemies, should they be letters?
I'm using a Freemium for testing. Just tried L1 collecting all the keys first and then opening the doors and all worked. There are puzzles in each level so you need to solve them to get the 3rd key. the enemy is supposed to be a bat :-) i wanted to keep a couple of ascii characters.

A Character-Block Roguelike
A procedurally generated dungeon crawler (like Rogue or NetHack)
Roguelikes rely entirely on text characters or custom character sets to represent the world
(@ for the player, D for a dragon, # for walls).
You can use the Microbee’s PCG to redefine the standard ASCII character set into 8x8 custom graphics blocks
(a tiny sword, a detailed wall tile, a mini monster).
The 2026 Twist: While 1980s type-in games used static mazes, you can implement a clean, lightweight
random maze generation algorithm (like the random walk or binary space partitioning)
to give the game infinite replayability within just 16K or 32K of RAM.
/program on
Talking about PCG character definitions, if anyone else is interested in it I built a PCG character mapping tool to help with the writing of data lines in basic.
I only used it on my macbook so far, but the basic python will work on windows and I'm sure linux, as again I have used my old trusty tkinter as the wrapping paper.
If anyone is interested in it you can find it here https://github.com/gbhobbytech/microbee-pcg-character-editor.

Thats just an awesome utility. I hope you dont mind but I added it to my html toolbox, doing two characters at a time. If you prefer me to delete this post just say so.

Not at all, in fact I am rapt that you took it to a new level!
