A nifty trick to handle 3-d movement with such maps is the one in the
old
Waddington's 4000AD game. The colour and size of the stars indicate
their
vertical position. Bright, big stardots are in the top layer, smaller,
darker dots lower down. That game has two levels, but I think the system
could handle up to 5 levels or so without too many problems.
