0 Character is facing left and standing beside a chair
3 Character must walk to the next chair to the left
4 Character must walk to the rightmost chair
255 Character is not in a classroom
Input
H Character number (183-210)
26068 LD L,2 Point HL at byte 2 of the character's buffer
26070 LD A,(HL) A=character's y-coordinate
26071 LD DE,54066 The table at 54066 contains the x-coordinates of the left ends of the classrooms
26074 LD B,3 There are three sets of chairs on the top floor
26076 CP B Is the character on the top floor?
26077 JR Z,26086 Jump if so
26079 DEC B B=2 (two sets of chairs on the middle floor)
26080 CP 10 Is the character on the middle floor?
26082 JR NZ,26101 Jump if not
26084 LD E,53 DE=54069
26086 DEC L
26087 LD A,(HL) A=character's x-coordinate
26088 EX DE,HL HL=54066 if the character is on the top floor, 54069 if he's on the middle floor
26089 CP (HL) Is the character to the left of this classroom?
26090 JR C,26097 Jump if so
26092 INC H Point HL at the x-coordinate of the right end of the classroom (in the table at 54322)
26093 CP (HL) Is the character in this classroom?
26094 JR C,26104 Jump if so
26096 DEC H
26097 INC L
26098 DJNZ 26089
26100 EX DE,HL
26101 LD A,255 Signal: the character is not in a classroom
26103 RET
The character is in a classroom. But is he beside a chair?
26104 INC H Point HL at the x-coordinate of the leftmost seat in the classroom (in the table at 54578)
26105 CP (HL) Is the character to the right of the leftmost chair?
26106 JR NC,26112 Jump if so
26108 LD A,4 Signal: the character must walk to the rightmost chair
26110 EX DE,HL
26111 RET
26112 INC H Point HL at the x-coordinate of the rightmost seat in the classroom (in the table at 54834)
26113 CP (HL) Is the character to the left of the rightmost chair?
26114 JR C,26120 Jump if so
26116 LD A,3 Signal: the character must walk to the next chair to the left
26118 EX DE,HL
26119 RET
The character is between the leftmost and rightmost chairs in the classroom.
26120 DEC E E=0
26121 LD A,(DE) A=character's animatory state
26122 INC E E=1
26123 RLCA
26124 JR C,26108 Jump if the character is facing right
26126 LD A,(DE) A=character's x-coordinate
26127 XOR (HL) The chairs in a classroom have either all odd or all even x-coordinates; is the character standing beside one?
26128 RRCA
26129 JR NC,26116 Jump if not
26131 EX DE,HL
26132 XOR A Signal: the character is facing left and standing beside a chair
