Mapper

I’ve gotten an earlier start tonight.

Mapper is still my primary project at this time.

I have to write the Print Map routine.  Map is probably a misnomer as it’s not really a map as maps go.  It is a series of compass rose type diagrams, one for each room.

From working with Display Room it became apparent that 80 columns would not be wide enough for the Print Map routine.  With eighty columns, you might get two rooms across, so I was going to need more width somehow.

My printer is an ImageWriter II and pretty much a standard in the Apple II world.  I remembered that even though the printer uses fixed type sizes, there was a way to change it to a smaller type size.  I’ve done some digging and found a quick reference card for the ImageWriter II.  It contains codes to change the type font.

I’m going to have to try several and compare the results to see which is going to give me the most width and readability.
