       Type: Subroutine
   Category: Maths (Geometry)
    Summary: Call the TIDY routine in ROM bank 1

    Context: See this subroutine in context in the source code
 References: This subroutine is called as follows:
             * MVEIT (Part 1 of 9) calls TIDY_b1




.TIDY_b1

 LDA currentBank        ; If ROM bank 1 is already paged into memory, jump to
 CMP #1                 ; bank4
 BEQ bank4

 PHA                    ; Otherwise store the current bank number on the stack

 LDA #1                 ; Page ROM bank 1 into memory at $8000
 JSR SetBank

 JSR TIDY               ; Call TIDY, now that it is paged into memory

 JMP ResetBank          ; Fetch the previous ROM bank number from the stack and
                        ; page that bank back into memory at $8000, returning
                        ; from the subroutine using a tail call

.bank4

 JMP TIDY               ; Call TIDY, which is already paged into memory, and
                        ; return from the subroutine using a tail call
