DMAP stands for "Dungeon Map."
But there is more to Zelda than dungeons.
There's the overworld.
Is the overworld a DMap too?
If so...
Should we introduce the term "OMap" for "Overworld Map?"
If not, why?

"dlevel" is another term that appears in the source code.
What the heck is a dlevel?
Weird.
According to isdungeon in maps.cpp, it sounds like dlevels are either dungeons or caves.Quote:
