Main loop: Main flight loop (Part 5 of 16), Removed

       Name: Main flight loop (Part 5 of 16), Removed                [Show more]
       Type: Subroutine
   Category: Main loop
    Summary: For each nearby ship: If an energy bomb has been set off,
             potentially kill this ship
  Deep dive: Program flow of the main game loop
    Context: See this subroutine in context in the source code
 References: No direct references to this subroutine in this source file


 The main flight loop covers most of the flight-specific aspects of Elite. This
 section covers the following:

   * Continue looping through all the ships in the local bubble, and for each
     one:

     * If an energy bomb has been set off and this ship can be killed, kill it
       and increase the kill tally


                        \ --- Mod: Code removed for Elite-A: ------------------>

\ LDA BOMB              \ If we set off our energy bomb (see MA24 above), then
\ BPL MA21              \ BOMB is now negative, so this skips to MA21 if our
\                       \ energy bomb is not going off
\
\ CPY #2*SST            \ If the ship in Y is the space station, jump to BA21
\ BEQ MA21              \ as energy bombs are useless against space stations
\
\ LDA INWK+31           \ If the ship we are checking has bit 5 set in its ship
\ AND #%00100000        \ byte #31, then it is already exploding, so jump to
\ BNE MA21              \ BA21 as ships can't explode more than once
\
\ ASL INWK+31           \ The energy bomb is killing this ship, so set bit 7 of
\ SEC                   \ the ship byte #31 to indicate that it has now been
\ ROR INWK+31           \ killed
\
\ JSR EXNO2             \ Call EXNO2 to process the fact that we have killed a
\                       \ ship (so increase the kill tally, make an explosion
\                       \ sound and possibly display "RIGHT ON COMMANDER!")
