 * The details on exactly how the map data is stored is left to specific
 * implementations. However, the following is common to each file format:
 *
 *   - All game objects for the playfield should be returned in columns rather
 *     than rows. This is an artifact from the original game and is left as is
 *     because it is no more difficult to work with than rows (just less
 *     natural).
 *   - Tunnels are identified by the bitmask 0x40 and their id can be calculated
 *     by XORing with the bitmask and then dividing by two. For example, a
 *     tunnel identified by index 0 is 0x40, index 1 is 0x42, and so on.
