Extra tracks: HookUpdateHorizon

Name: HookUpdateHorizon [Show more] Type: Subroutine Category: Extra tracks Summary: Only update the horizon if we have found fewer than 12 visible segments 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 HookUpdateHorizon * newContentLo calls HookUpdateHorizon

This routine is called from GetVergeAndMarkers so that we only store horizonLine and horizonListIndex when segmentCounter < 12.
.HookUpdateHorizon PHA \ Store A on the stack so we can retrieve it below LDA segmentCounter \ Set the C flag if segmentCounter >= 12 CMP #12 PLA \ Retrieve the value of A from the stack BCS upho1 \ If segmentCounter >= 12, jump to upho1 to skip the \ following two instructions \ Otherwise we set the horizon line and index using the \ same code that we overwrote with the call to the hook \ routine STA horizonLine \ This track segment is higher than the current horizon \ pitch angle, so the track obscures the horizon and we \ need to update horizonLine to this new pitch angle STY horizonListIndex \ Set horizonListIndex to the track segment number in Y .upho1 RTS \ Return from the subroutine
