Disassembly

Password Comparison Routine

This fragment of code compares the input password with the passwords of all 24 levels of the game.

00:A8BA:A9 00     LDA #$00
00:A8BC:85 67     STA $0067   // Reset level counter
loop:

00:A8C4:A0 00     LDY #$00    // Reset input password character counter
passwordCompare:
