8EA8: Reset the play state for a new game or level
|
Zeroes the three play-state RAM blocks, then re-arms the object pool to serve a ball.
On return every play flag, both ball state records and the brick state map read 0. The re-arm then sets ball A's speed and serve flag. The bat and ball are positioned for the current side.

| 8EB5 | LD HL,brick_state_map | Clear the brick state map: a new level starts with every slot settled and no break animation in progress. The fill covers the map and the byte after it, the first entry of the durability-class table. The image already holds that entry clear, so the class table survives unchanged. | |

| 8EC2 | LD HL,obj2_record | Clear the logic records for the secondary object and the five inhabitants so none is active when the pool is re-armed below. The fill covers the six records and the byte after them, the first entry of the steer table, which it clears. The wall-avoid probe reads that entry, and nothing restores it. | |
