7048: Make BOY WANDER fire his catapult (4)
The address of this uninterruptible subcommand routine is placed into bytes 0x6F and 0x70 of BOY WANDER's buffer by the routine at 703D. At this point BOY WANDER's catapult is fully raised, and so a pellet is launched.
Input
H 0xA7 (BOY WANDER)
7048 LD L,$6F Replace the address of this uninterruptible subcommand routine in bytes 0x6F and 0x70 of BOY WANDER's buffer with 7067
704A LD (HL),$67
704C LD L,$60 Byte 0x60 of BOY WANDER's buffer holds his animatory state (0x39/0xB9)
704E LD A,(HL) Pick this up in A
704F ADD A,$46 Now A=0x7F or 0xFF (catapult pellet)
7051 INC L Pick up BOY WANDER's coordinates in DE
7052 LD D,(HL)
7053 INC L
7054 LD E,(HL)
