This document and others like it detail how events and levels work in Jazz 1. This doucment covers the
basic outline of both levels and events. Other documents will contain notes on specific sections

Basic Event Structure:
==================================================================================================

Each event consists of 32 1-byte entries. Throughout this document, each byte will be referred to by
the name given here, for ease of explaination.

2  Blank            10 Strength         18 Anim speed        26 Chain length
3  Reflect          11 Type             19 Blank             27 Chain direction
4  Blank            12 Score            20 Blank             28 Unused

==================================================================================================
Basic Level structure:
==================================================================================================

The Jazz level files contain a surprising amount of data, controlling everything from sprite behavior
to Jazz's jump height and more. There is enormous redundancy and a notable lack of logic that makes you
wonder just what the Epic team was smoking.

The level files can be divided roughly into 17 'blocks' of data, some RLE compressed, others not. It
appears each RLE block is loaded seperately, while the plain blocks affect variables in the game.

Blocks 6, 8 and 13 seem to be read only by Epic's level builder. They are name lists and any data you
want can be stored in them without affecting the level.

When totally decompressed levels are 61'980 bytes long, give or take a few extras. Of this, about 50
bytes remains of unknown function.
