Used by the routine at GameLoop.
Matches the first word token from the user's command against the verb word tokens table. If a match is found, it calculates the verb index and jumps to the corresponding verb handler routine. If no match is found, it displays "I Don't Understand" and returns.
|

|
Set up to search the verb word tokens table for the first word token.
|
||||
| Handler_DispatchVerb | C463 | LD HL,($BAF6) | Set a pointer to *Pointer_VerbWordTokens in HL. | |
| C466 | LD BC,($BAFC) | Load *Count_VerbTokens tokens into BC for the search. | ||
| C46A | LD A,($BB36) | Get the *UserInput_FirstToken from the user input. | ||
| C46D | CPIR | Search the verb word tokens table for a matching token. | ||
| C46F | JR Z,VerbMatched | Jump to VerbMatched if a match was found (Z flag is set). | ||
|
The token doesn't match any verb. Display an error message: "I don't understand.".
|
||||
| C471 | LD HL,$BB61 | HL=Messaging_IDontUnderstand. | ||
| C474 | CALL PrintStringAndNewline | Call PrintStringAndNewline. | ||
| C477 | RET | Return. | ||
|
A verb was matched! Calculate its index in the table and jump to its handler routine.
|
||||
| VerbMatched | C478 | LD A,($BAFC) | Calculate the verb index: A=*Count_VerbTokens-C (total tokens minus remaining tokens after match). | |
| C47B | SUB C | |||
| C47C | DEC A | Adjust the index (decrease by one, as indices are zero-based). | ||
| C47D | LD E,A | Store the verb index in E for the table lookup. | ||
| C47E | LD IX,($BAF0) | Set a pointer to *Pointer_JumpTable_Verbs in IX. | ||
| C482 | CALL GetTableEntry | Call GetTableEntry to get the address of the verb handler routine for this index. | ||
| C485 | JP (HL) | Jump to the verb handler routine to execute the command. | ||
