Atic Atac: Routine at 8C35

Used by the routine at LOSE_LIFE.

Reached from LOSE_LIFE when a life is lost with none to spare, whatever took it. It blanks the play area, prints GAME OVER across it, and hands over to DRAW_SUMMARY for the three figures underneath, then sits in a counting loop long enough to read them.

Note the second and third instructions: the tile source has to be pointed back at the text font first. During play it holds FONT_DIGITS, the copy biased so that digits index themselves, and anything printed through PLOT_TILE while it is still there comes out as the wrong glyphs entirely.

GAME_OVER	8C35	CALL CLEAR_PLAY_AREA	The castle goes; the status panel down the side stays.
	8C38	LD HL,$BE4C	Back to the text font, or the words below would be gibberish.
	8C3B	LD ($5E01),HL
	8C3E	LD HL,$3040	"GAME OVER", centred above the figures.
	8C41	LD DE,GAME_OVER_TEXT	"GAME OVER", centred above the figures.
	8C44	CALL PRINT_STRING
	8C47	CALL DRAW_SUMMARY	TIME, SCORE and the proportion of the castle seen.
This entry point is used by the routine at SHOW_END_SCREEN.
END_DELAY	8C4A	LD B,$14	A delay, and a long one: twenty times round a full 16-bit count.
	8C4C	LD HL,$0000
GAME_OVER_0	8C4F	DEC HL	Twenty times 65536 turns of 26 T-states: about ten seconds (9.8 s from here to the title, measured in the simulator). Whether interrupts are on depends on what took the last life. Hunger kills inside FRAME_TICK, which has done a DI, so they are off and FRAMES stands still through this delay and the title screen after it; a creature, a big monster or a mushroom kills from the main loop, with interrupts on, and FRAMES counts all the way through both (measured live: about 500 frames by the title).
