The problem is that `level' here is a char, not an array of array of
char.  It should be:

    void LoadLevel(char level[MAX_MAP_WIDTH][MAX_MAP_HEIGHT])
        ...

or

    void LoadLevel(char level[][MAX_MAP_HEIGHT])
        ...

since the function doesn't need to know the dimensions of the first
array.  The array itself, when passed in, must be defined similarly to
the parameter to the first example function above.
