Level Data
Level data is located in 2 separate pages in ROM memory. Each level has a starting address, where a list of events are read. Some events jump to other addresses, and can even jump to a "subroutine" of events that will be executed, and then the level will return to the event immediately after the calling event. The level data can be viewed as a language or instruction set to be read one instruction at a time and interpreted like any other language. Some events include native CPU instructions that will be executed before the next event is processed.
Level Events
Each event starts with an event type byte. Each event type has a different structure length. Events that contain a timer field will set a delay timer AFTER the event has occurred, which will delay the next event.

Native Code
The Native Code event (0x78) executes the bytes immediately following the event type byte as native CPU instructions. These events do not have a fixed length, and do not include a length field to specify how many bytes follow the event type field. You must interpret the instructions in order to determine how many bytes are included in this event. A simple approach is to scan for bytes with the value of 0xA2, and storing the following 2 bytes in a list. Then, when you reach an address that matches one of these values, this address will be the address of the next event. (This works because there is no way to resume processing events without writing the address of the next event to a CPU register.)
