8ED3: Initialize the score and game counters for a new game
|
Sets the start-of-game baseline. The score and the level index go to 0 and lives to 3. Every carried-over flag, marker and timer goes back to its default.
|
|||
| init_game_vars | 8ED3 | LD C,$01 | Seed the lives addend. The lives count below adds it to 2, which gives 3 lives at the start. |
| 8ED5 | LD HL,score_display | Fill the on-screen score digits with ASCII '0' and set bit 7 of the last digit as the print-string terminator. The score reads 0. | |
| 8ED8 | LD B,$08 | ||
| init_game_vars_0 | 8EDA | LD (HL),$30 | |
| 8EDC | INC HL | ||
| 8EDD | DJNZ init_game_vars_0 | ||
| 8EDF | DEC HL | ||
| 8EE0 | SET 7,(HL) | ||
| 8EE2 | LD HL,level_caption_hundreds | Reset the three digit cells of the level caption to '0'. Two are ASCII '0', and the third is a game-font '0' whose bit 7 terminates the print string. This resets the hundreds cell, which is what starts the displayed level over at 1 for a new game. | |
| 8EE5 | LD (HL),$30 | ||
| 8EE7 | INC HL | ||
| 8EE8 | LD (HL),$30 | ||
| 8EEA | INC HL | ||
| 8EEB | LD (HL),$B0 | ||
| 8EED | LD A,$30 | Reset the extra-life milestone marker to '0'. It is the saved ten-thousands score digit. The extra-life award compares the live score against it, to award one life per 10000 points. | |
| 8EEF | LD (score_milestone_marker),A | ||
| 8EF2 | XOR A | The level index starts at 0, the first level. | |
| 8EF3 | LD (level),A | ||
| 8EF6 | XOR A | Start the game with 3 lives. | |
| 8EF7 | ADD A,$02 | ||
| 8EF9 | ADD A,C | ||
| 8EFA | LD (lives),A | ||
| 8EFD | XOR A | Clear the warp flag and its countdown: a new game starts with no warp in progress. | |
| 8EFE | LD (warp_active_flag),A | ||
| 8F01 | LD (warp_countdown),A | ||
| 8F04 | LD A,$14 | Restore the rally-acceleration interval to its start-of-game default: bounces per ball-speed step. | |
| 8F06 | LD (rally_accel_interval),A | ||
| 8F09 | RET | ||
