Holds 1 when the view has been turned round, and 0 when it has not (see CheckRotateKey).

A bit for each of the sixteen columns of the view, which is set when the column has been drawn with strips of wall, or is outside the view. DrawView stops drawing the view when all of the bits are set.

Holds 1 while the key that turns the view is being held down (see CheckRotateKey). The game selection menu also uses it for the key that changes directional control (see GameMenu).

The speed that the player works up to when moving forward. It is 10, and it is 18 while a speed bonus lasts (see UpdateSpeedBonus).

Holds 1 when the frame of the game selection menu has been drawn (see DisplayMenu).

The position in the list of objects at ObjectList of the object that DrawObjectsInList is comparing with the chosen object.

The number of frames that are left before another item can be thrown (see ThrowItem).

The score, as three bytes of BCD with the highest first, which are followed by a fourth byte that is always zero. The score is printed with those two zeroes at the end, so it is in hundreds (see AddToScore and PrintScore).

The number of lives that are left after the one that is being played. It is 6 when the game starts, and it goes down by one as each life starts (see StartNewLife).

The number of items that are left to be found on each kind of tile, for the tiles 0 to 35. An item appears in the village when the player stands on a tile that has some left (see SpawnItem), and it is added back when the item is lost again (see UpdateVillageItem).

1	Right
2	Forward
3	Fire

5	Turn the view

The timer for the player appearing at the start of a life, which is set to 40 (see StartNewLife) and is made larger by two on each frame until it reaches 112 (see UpdatePlayerLegs).

The eleven places in the inventory tube. A place holds the number of the item that is in it, or zero if there is nothing there (see PickUpItem).

A bit for each of the cells of the village, which is set once the player has visited the cell (see MarkCellVisited). There are four bytes for each row.

The table of objects, which holds everything that moves in the village. There are 23 objects of 16 bytes each, and MainLoop updates them in turn.

7	Flags
8	Half of the width
9	Half of the depth

11	Velocity along the Y axis
12	Offset of the sprite along the X axis
