Extra tracks: HookFixHorizon

       Name: HookFixHorizon                                          [Show more]
       Type: Subroutine
   Category: Extra tracks
    Summary: Apply the horizon line in A instead of horizonLine
  Deep dive: Secrets of the extra tracks
             Code hooks in the extra tracks
    Context: See this subroutine in context in the source code
 References: This subroutine is called as follows:
             * newContentHi calls HookFixHorizon
             * newContentLo calls HookFixHorizon


 This routine is called from GetTrackAndMarkers. It does the following:

  * Cut objects off at the track line in A rather than horizonLine

  * Collapse the left verge of the track into the right verge, but only for a
    few entries just in front of the horizon section, i.e. for the track
    section list and the first three entries in the track segment list


 Arguments:

   A                    The updated value of horizonLine

   Y                    The horizon section index in the verge buffer from
                        horizonListIndex

 STA &1FEA              \ Modify the DrawObject routine at dobj3 instruction #6
                        \ so that objects get cut off at the track line number
                        \ in A instead of horizonLine when they are hidden
                        \ behind a hill

 STA yVergeLeft,Y       \ Set the pitch angle for the left side of the horizon
                        \ line in the track verge buffer to the updated value of
                        \ horizonLine (this is the instruction that we overwrote
                        \ with the call to the hook routine, so this makes sure
                        \ we still do this)

                        \ We now work through the verge buffer from index Y up
                        \ to index 8, and do the following for each entry:
                        \
                        \   * If xVergeRight < xVergeLeft, set
                        \     xVergeRight = xVergeLeft
                        \
                        \   * Set yVergeRight = yVergeLeft
                        \
                        \ This appears to squeeze the left verge of the track
                        \ into the right verge, but only for a few entries just
                        \ in front of the horizon section, i.e. for the track
                        \ section list and the first three entries in the track
                        \ segment list
