This project displays an Animated Jet Set willy map.
I haven't yet created a distribution http://love2d.org/wiki/Game_Distribution so to get it running you have to do some stuff manually.
The file 'JSW2_Animated_Map.love' is a zip file with all the game in (created with 'make_love_file.sh'). This file you need to run with the Love2D game engine.
You need to download the relevant version of Love 2D http://www.love2d.org - we use Love 0.9.0.
On a Mac, to run it from Terminal type: path-to-love/love.app/Contents/MacOS/love JSW2_Animated_Map.love
On a Mac, you might be able to run it by clicking on the .love file - depending upon whether you've downloaded and associated the right version of love.
On Windows, to run it by installing: 1. Install the love package. 2. Click the .love file.
On Windows, to run it from the the command prompt type: path-to-love/love-0.9.0-win32/love.exe JSW2_Animated_Map.love
On Linux, to run it you should be able to install the relevant package, then click JSW2_Animated_Map.love file.
You can re-size the window and also click-drag with the mouse to reposition the map view.
You can press the Escape key to quit.
We decode the .z80 file into a spectrum memory image, then we look for the room data, guardian data and graphics in the Jet Set Willy 2 image. We extract and convert these into a format we can use. We then use a pre-written map to display the rooms and
The code is written in Lua http://www.lua.org
We use Love 2D v0.9.0 http://www.love2d.org to do the displaying of the map, and the mouse control.
There is a list of incomplete things is near the top of main.lua.
After viewing the cool map here http://maps.speccy.cz/maps/JetSetWilly2.png, I always wished all the guardians were animated. That, of course, is impossible. We could use a GIF but (a) we'd need to generate it (either all together or room by room), (b) the GIF would would be massive, (c) Display the GIF would probably cause most things to have problems because of the massive size and (d) around browsing would be problematic.
So here is a program that does this instead - since that seemed the easier way of getting the effect.
Lua code released under the MIT license, see text in .lua files.

I've included 'jetset2.z80' - which is the original spectrum game. I might have to remove it if the copyright owner complains. You can probably create another .z80 file by using an emulator and taking a z80 snapshot of the game after loading it from world of spectrum http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0002595
We use middleclass.lua to allow easier defining of classes (by kikito, see https://github.com/kikito/middleclass) with a small tweak to allow showing class data members when using ZeroBrane Studio (http://studio.zerobrane.com) and strict.lua to protect against accidentally defining global variables.
