Is there a way to not know the name of a board before teleporting there? Like maybe by number possibly?

Goal is to move between about 4 or 5 boards using arrow keys read by global bot...however, those 4 or 5 are unknown at the time of the button read...so...how could this be solved? I looked for anywhere there might be non-referenced board names in the ROBOTIC reference, but came up with nothing that sounded like it would be useful in this problem.

Anyone have suggestions?

They do _have_ numbers, which is the p?? you use on stairs/whirlpools/etc. that lead to them, but there aren't Robotic commands about the numbers so they're not very useful.

So I gave that a shot to look at and yup. It seems the P00 indicates the board order in the list when you push B or M or D.

This implies P00 is the top number that can be created from a whirlpool etc, so does that mean the maximum number of boards in MZX is 255 (FF) or is that not a limit of MZX and the actual limit is the p00 referencing the list and you can have 300 boards but can only make a teleport up to 255?


Obviously I could test this by spending an afternoon making boards in a world for 2 hours but I figure someone already would know the answer to my silly inquiery.
