Tunnels & Traps: A Tiny BASIC Game

Anyone interested in converting this old program of mine from the Apple II to LowRes NX?

It was originally written for the TRS-80 Pocket Computer, which had a 1-line 24-character screen, so it shouldn't take too much work to get it to fit on the NX screen.
Don't use the Pocket Computer code - used arrays to reference variables A to Z.

I'll give it a go :)

I just played it 5 times, and it worked every time. What bug are you seeing?

I am perpetually in a trap, and it yields two messages, one says -1 and one says +1..
Perhaps I'm not playing it right ??
Well, if it's working for you at least than I'm glad as that means I converted it correctly :)

What tunnel number did you enter? I was able to recreate the problem entering "N" for the tunnel number instead of 1, 2, or 3.

By the way, thanks! It works great. I'm going to fit some of the text to 20 characters per line.

Oh, I just hit the ENTER without entering any #...that’s why ...
It was a fun challenge, I enjoyed converting it...
I have the code for a basic text version of a Star Trek game ... but compared to yours this one is HUGE... say maybe 100x longer and isn’t nice and clean like yours.... I figured out an easy way to convert all the line #’s into labels, test ran it, and it basically crashed because there quantity of line# converted into labels exceeded the number lowres could handle... so I gave up on that one...
