RGC Online IDE tutorial adds multi-level progression to C64 BASIC dungeon crawler

Part 11 of the C64 BASIC Dungeon Crawler tutorial series introduces five dungeon levels, replacing the single-map, single-chalice design from part ten. Each level now requires collecting a growing number of chalices (using the formula CL=INT((LV+1)/2)) before stairs become accessible, with maps regenerated per level using an expanded version of the earlier generator. The updated code is playable and editable directly in the free RGC Online Retro IDE as part11a.bas.
