|
Used by the routines at 62A0, 691E and 6A08. Resets the bits in the screen refresh buffer (SRB) that correspond to the speech bubble and lip, so that they are not overwritten by sprite tiles when the display is updated. Returns with the carry flag set if the speech bubble is on-screen, and with HL pointing at the first byte of the SRB.
|
||||
| 68E1 | LD HL,$7FF8 | 7FF8 holds the LSB of the SRB address corresponding to the lip of the speech bubble (or 0 if there is no bubble on-screen) | ||
| 68E4 | LD A,(HL) | |||
| 68E5 | LD L,A | L=0 (and HL=7F00) if no one is speaking | ||
| 68E6 | AND A | Is anyone speaking at the moment? | ||
| 68E7 | RET Z | Return if not | ||
| 68E8 | LD L,$FF | HL=7FFF | ||
| 68EA | LD A,(HL) | A=leftmost column of the play area on screen | ||
| 68EB | LD L,$FA | HL=7FFA, which holds the column of the play area that was at the far left of the screen the last time this routine was called | ||
| 68ED | CP (HL) | Set the zero flag if the screen hasn't scrolled, set the carry flag if the screen has scrolled right, or reset the carry flag if it has scrolled left | ||
| 68EE | LD (HL),A | Update 7FFA to the current leftmost column on-screen | ||
| 68EF | LD L,$F8 | HL=7FF8 | ||
| 68F1 | JR Z,$6908 | Jump if the screen hasn't scrolled since the last time this routine was called | ||
|
The screen has scrolled since the last time this routine was called. Check which way it scrolled and update 7FF8 accordingly.
|
||||
| 68F3 | LD A,(HL) | A=LSB of the speech bubble lip SRB address | ||
| 68F4 | JR NC,$6903 | Jump if the screen has scrolled left | ||
|
The screen has scrolled right since the last time this routine was called.
|
||||
| 68F6 | AND $03 | A=0-3 (quarter of the screen occupied by the bubble before the scroll) | ||
| 68F8 | CP $03 | Was the bubble in the rightmost quarter? | ||
| 68FA | JR NZ,$6900 | Jump if not | ||
|
The speech bubble has been scrolled off the screen.
|
||||
| 68FC | LD (HL),$00 | Set 7FF8 to 0 (the bubble is no longer on-screen) | ||
| 68FE | LD L,(HL) | L=0 | ||
| 68FF | RET | Return with the carry flag reset | ||
| 6900 | INC (HL) | The speech bubble has been scrolled to the right (and is still on-screen) | ||
| 6901 | JR $6908 | |||
|
The screen has scrolled left since the last time this routine was called.
|
||||
| 6903 | AND $03 | A=0-3 (quarter of the screen occupied by the bubble before the scroll) | ||
| 6905 | JR Z,$68FC | Jump if the bubble was in the leftmost quarter (and is therefore no longer on-screen) | ||
| 6907 | DEC (HL) | The speech bubble has been scrolled to the left (and is still on-screen) | ||
|
Now that 7FF8 has been adjusted to compensate for any recent scrolling of the screen, adjust the appropriate SRB bytes for the speech bubble and lip.
|
||||
| 6908 | LD L,(HL) | HL=address of the SRB byte corresponding to the lip of the speech bubble | ||
| 6909 | LD A,($7FF9) | The bit set in A corresponds to the bit of the SRB byte that corresponds to the lip of the speech bubble | ||
| 690C | CPL | |||
| 690D | AND (HL) | Make sure this bit is reset | ||
| 690E | LD (HL),A | Restore the SRB byte with the relevant bit reset | ||
| 690F | LD A,L | |||
| 6910 | ADD A,$FC | Reset the bits of the SRB corresponding to the bottom line of the speech bubble | ||
| 6912 | LD L,A | |||
| 6913 | LD (HL),$00 | |||
| 6915 | ADD A,$FC | Reset the bits of the SRB corresponding to the top line of the speech bubble | ||
| 6917 | LD L,A | |||
| 6918 | LD (HL),$00 | |||
| 691A | LD L,(HL) | L=0 | ||
| 691B | SCF | Signal: the speech bubble is still on-screen | ||
| 691C | RET | |||
