Won't draw the levels

[isarandi]

I compiled the program from sources and when I start it, it simply says LEVEL 0, later on PRESS ENTER TO PLAY! ESC OR q TO EXIT. I press enter and get YOU WIN THE GAME! and the next level comes. There is no game drawn.

I noticed that a ~/errors.log was also generated, containing:

This problem is because maps are not getting drawn. Did you do "make install" and did it show any error?

[isarandi]

No error, compilation is successful.
Later I saw a closed Github issue here, which said that checking out an earlier version and compiling that would work. I tried that and it indeed worked.

I didn't ask about 'make' but rather 'make install' which installs the maps. If 'make install' didn't complain then can you try below code?

This fix worked for me, as I am running it without the 'install' step.
