# Bean Vendor

## Overview
The Bean Vendor is an NPC (Non-Player Character) sprite designed for player interaction, primarily through dialogue. It features a simple state machine to manage its idle and talking behaviors.

*   **`!HVelocity`**: `00`
*   **`!Health`**: `00`
*   **`!Damage`**: `00`
*   **`!DeathAnimation`**: `00`

## Main Structure (`Sprite_BeanVendor_Long`)
This routine is the main entry point for the Bean Vendor, executed every frame. It handles drawing, shadow rendering, and dispatches to the main logic if the sprite is active.

```asm
Sprite_BeanVendor_Long:
{
  PHB : PHK : PLB
  JSR Sprite_BeanVendor_Draw
  JSL Sprite_DrawShadow

  JSL Sprite_CheckActive : BCC .SpriteIsNotActive
    JSR Sprite_BeanVendor_Main
  .SpriteIsNotActive

  PLB
  RTL
}
```

## Initialization (`Sprite_BeanVendor_Prep`)
This routine runs once when the Bean Vendor is spawned. It initializes `SprDefl, X`, `SprTimerC, X`, `SprNbrOAM, X`, and `SprPrize, X`.

```asm
Sprite_BeanVendor_Prep:
{
  PHB : PHK : PLB
  LDA.b #$80 : STA.w SprDefl, X
  LDA.b #$30 : STA.w SprTimerC, X
  LDA.b #$03 : STA.w SprNbrOAM, X
  LDA.b #$03 : STA.w SprPrize, X
  PLB
  RTL
}
```

## Main Logic & State Machine (`Sprite_BeanVendor_Main`)
The Bean Vendor's core behavior is managed by a state machine with `BeanVendor_Idle` and `BeanVendor_Talk` states.

*   **`BeanVendor_Idle`**: The vendor plays an idle animation. When Link is nearby (`GetDistance8bit_Long`), it transitions to the `BeanVendor_Talk` state.
*   **`BeanVendor_Talk`**: The vendor plays a talking animation and displays a message using `JSL Interface_PrepAndDisplayMessage`. Once the message is dismissed, it transitions back to the `BeanVendor_Idle` state.

```asm
Sprite_BeanVendor_Main:
{
  LDA.w SprAction, X
  JSL JumpTableLocal

  dw BeanVendor_Idle
  dw BeanVendor_Talk

  BeanVendor_Idle:
  {
    %PlayAnimation(0,1,15)
    JSL GetDistance8bit_Long : CMP.b #$20 : BCS +
      INC.w SprAction, X
    +
    RTS
  }

  BeanVendor_Talk:
  {
    %PlayAnimation(2,3,8)
    JSL Interface_PrepAndDisplayMessage : BCC +
      STZ.w SprAction, X
    +
    RTS
  }
}
```

## Drawing (`Sprite_BeanVendor_Draw`)
The drawing routine handles OAM allocation and animation. It explicitly uses `REP #$20` and `SEP #$20` for 16-bit coordinate calculations.

```asm
Sprite_BeanVendor_Draw:
{
  JSL Sprite_PrepOamCoord
  JSL Sprite_OAM_AllocateDeferToPlayer

  LDA.w SprFrame, X : TAY ;Animation Frame
  LDA .start_index, Y : STA $06
  LDA.w SprFlash, X : STA $08
  LDA.w SprMiscB, X : STA $09

  LDA.b #$F0 : STA ($90), Y ;Put the sprite out of the way
  STA $0E
  .on_screen_y

  PLX ; Pullback Animation Index Offset (without the *2 not 16bit anymore)
  INY

  ; If SprMiscA != 0, then use 4th sheet

## Design Patterns
*   **NPC Interaction**: The sprite is designed to engage with the player through dialogue, triggered by proximity.
*   **State Machine**: Employs a simple state machine to manage its `Idle` and `Talk` behaviors, ensuring appropriate animations and actions based on player interaction.
*   **16-bit OAM Calculations**: Demonstrates explicit use of `REP #$20` and `SEP #$20` for precise 16-bit OAM coordinate calculations, crucial for accurate sprite rendering.
