Great, So do you know what the definate cause of this bug is?

my guess would be either too many monsters in the level after generating more with that lever, or some other unexpected behaviour of monster generation (2 monsters on top of eachother? monsters outside of screen?)

why do i say monsters when i usually call them enemies? and so you write this game in pascal, eh Kornel?

Monsters on a given level are held in a fixed sized array. The system didn't check for array overflow when generating additional monsters (with the lever).

You didn't know that? Anyway, it's not "just" pascal... it's FreePascal ^_^

heh, nope i didn't know that.. somehow i assumed it was programmed in C. But i guess FreePascal is certainly powerfull enough to wrtie a game like this.
