REM BREAKOUT
REM
REM One hundred percent BASIC, for the AKGL BASIC interpreter.
REM   ../akbasic/build-akgl/basic breakout.bas
REM
REM The ball and the paddle are sprites, defined from DATA in this listing.
REM The bricks, the HUD and the messages are characters in the text grid.
REM Nothing here loads an asset and nothing here uses DRAW, BOX or CIRCLE:
REM the drawing verbs do not survive a frame in this interpreter, while the
REM text grid and the sprites are both redrawn from persistent state every
REM frame. See README.md for the whole list of things that shaped this.
REM
REM Three rules this listing never breaks, each one earned the hard way:
REM   * A row of text is written whole, from column 0. CHAR terminates the
REM     row where it stops, so writing at column N erases N+1 onwards.
REM   * Mixed + and - are parenthesised. This parser reads a - b + c as
REM     a - (b + c), and matches only ONE unparenthesised AND or OR.
REM   * The main loop is a GOTO loop. Every loop and every GOSUB takes one
REM     of 32 scopes, and a state change jumping out of a DO would leak one
REM     every time; thirty-two lives later the program stops.
REM
REM Two more rules were true when this was written and are not any more.
REM They are recorded because the shape of the listing is still theirs:
REM   * Every name is created once, in the pool block below. A name first
REM     created inside a GOSUB or a FOR used to cost a value slot that was
REM     never handed back, out of 4096 for the whole run, and this game died
REM     after twenty-five seconds because of it. A scalar is free now; only
REM     the DIMs below still have to be up here. TODO.md section 6 item 30.
REM   * Writing PAST the terminator of a short row used to draw nothing at
REM     all. The gap is padded with spaces now. TODO.md section 6 item 32.

LABEL SETUP
SCNCLR

REM --- geometry -------------------------------------------------------
REM Nothing here is assumed. RGR(1) and RGR(2) are the window in pixels,
REM RGR(3) and RGR(4) are one character cell, and RWINDOW gives the text
REM grid in columns and rows -- so the game fits whatever window the host
REM opened and whatever font it loaded. Everything below is derived from
REM these six, including the ball's speed relative to the wall.
REM
REM The first version of this file had CW# = 16 and CH# = 16 written out,
REM measured by hand against the bundled C64_Pro_Mono at 16 points, because
REM there was no way to ask -- and that was the one thing in the listing
REM that would break on a different font. RGR(3) and RWINDOW were added to
REM the interpreter because of it.
SCW# = RGR(1)
SCH# = RGR(2)
CW# = RGR(3)
CH# = RGR(4)
COLS# = RWINDOW(1)
ROWS# = RWINDOW(0)

MSGROW# = 35

REM --- pools ----------------------------------------------------------
REM Every name in the program is created HERE.
REM
REM One reason still stands. A GOSUB gets its own scope: assignment walks up
REM the chain and finds an outer variable, but a name first seen inside a
REM subroutine is created in the subroutine and dies at RETURN -- so HIT#
REM and BI# would mean nothing to the caller if they were not already out
REM here, and HITTEST would answer into two variables nobody can read.
REM
REM The other has been fixed. A scalar used to cost a value slot for good --
REM the pool is a bump allocator with no free, and recycling a variable took
REM fresh slots, so 4096 creations ended the run whenever they happened. A
REM scalar now lives in the variable itself and costs the pool nothing; only
REM the DIMs still spend, which is why they are the part that has to be up
REM here. The rest of this block is habit, and harmless.

REM lines that divided pixels by cell sizes to recover a grid index, tested
REM the ball's leading edge rather than its box, and could miss a brick
REM clipped at the corner by seven pixels' worth of ball.
REM
REM Field 4 is how deep the overlap is and fields 2 and 3 are the way out, so
REM the two together put the ball exactly clear. The normal of a box against a
REM box is exactly -1, 0 or 1, which is why assigning the product into an
