H | Falling object's character number |
29896 | LD L,2 | |
29898 | LD A,(HL) | A=y-coordinate of the falling object |
29899 | CP 17 | Has the object hit the bottom floor yet? |
29901 | JR NZ,29915 | Jump if not |
This entry point is used by the routines at 29568, 30380, 57910, 62178, 63586 and 64077 to "kill" a non-human object (i.e. pellet, frog, desk lid, stinkbomb cloud, water/sherry fired from pistol):
|
||
29903 | LD L,18 | Remove the address of this routine from bytes 17 and 18 of the object's buffer |
29905 | LD (HL),0 | |
This entry point is used by the routine at 31254 to make a mouse disappear temporarily:
|
||
29907 | CALL 25012 | Update SRB for the object's current animatory state and location |
This entry point is used by the routine at 64057 to hide water from the water pistol:
|
||
29910 | LD L,1 | Set the object's x-coordinate to 224 (out of sight) |
29912 | LD (HL),224 | |
29914 | RET | |

29917 | JR Z,29926 | Jump if so |
29919 | CALL 25012 | Update SRB for the object's current animatory state and location |
29922 | INC D | The object will fall one more level |
29923 | JP 24880 | Update SRB for the object's new location |
The object is at the right height to hit someone. Check if it has.
|
||
29926 | LD L,1 | Point HL at byte 1 of the object's buffer |
29928 | LD E,(HL) | E=falling object's x-coordinate |
29929 | LD D,17 | 17=bottom floor (the only floor on which characters can be hit by a falling object) |
29931 | CALL 29856 | Check if any of the six adult characters were hit |
29934 | LD L,0 | Point HL at byte 0 of the object's buffer |
29936 | LD A,(HL) | A=animatory state of falling object |
29937 | JR Z,29999 | Jump if an adult character was hit by the falling object |
29939 | CP 55 | 55: Is the falling object a conker? |
29941 | JR NZ,29919 | Jump if not |
The falling object is a conker.
|
||
29943 | LD L,2 | Set the conker's y-coordinate to 17 (bottom floor) for comparison with that of the potential targets |
29945 | LD (HL),17 | |
Before calling the routine at 27820 to check whether any of the four main kids (besides ERIC) have been hit, D should be set to 206 (BOY WANDER, the first main kid), and B should be set to 4 (the number of kids to check). However, at this point D=17 and B=206, which means that instead of checking the character buffers in pages 206-209, we end up checking pages 17-222. In that range, only pages 183-214 contain character buffers; treating the other pages in RAM as if they contained character buffers could lead to data/code corruption. Needless to say, this is a bug.
|
||
29947 | CALL 27820 | Check whether anyone/anything was hit by the conker |
