fixed set of attributes. This could be done in variants X, Y and [, at
the cost of all the spare space in the rooms and all the guardians,
items and so on looking the same colour. At #8A0B, poke:
21 00 81 11 00 5C 01 00 02 ED B0 18 0E
and then stick the attributes for each room into the space at
room+0100h. Could this be refined so that the colours get done after
Willy's collisions are checked and before the guardians and items are
drawn? I don't know.
Alternatively, you could use (for example) Bright and Flash to
distinguish cells, and then have a super-Mono that forces Bright on
and Flash off. Compare the 4-colour patches in JSW64:BBC.
And if all else fails, you could resort to the JSW2 engine.
btw, playing UMM with the Mono patch turned on is one of the weirder
JSW experiences I've had.
