Memory corruption issue means can't open pocket of dressing gown in HHGTG #18

Closed DaveTCode closed 2 weeks ago

DaveTCode commented 2 weeks ago

HHG lets me run the first few commands but then the opcode at 0x6c27 gets overwritten by something. The actual operation doing the overwriting is an ADD L02, #01 -> (-SP) at line 0x6c98 but haven't yet walked back to find out what put the dodgy address in the stack pointer

DaveTCode commented 2 weeks ago

The function at 0x6c8b should only be called once but is getting called multiple times after opening the pocket for some reason

Looks like the object graph has got into an exciting state where the gown is a sibling of itself somehow!

DaveTCode commented 2 weeks ago

Looks like if you move an object from it's current parent to the same parent again then this causes a sibling loop. wearing the gown moves the object from "it" to "it"

DaveTCode commented 2 weeks ago

Resolved by simply exiting early when attempting to move an object from A -> A as noop rather than tweaking the algorithm
