## Main Structure (`Sprite_Keese_Long`)
This routine dispatches to different drawing and main logic routines based on the sprite's `SprSubtype`.
```asm
Sprite_Keese_Long:
{
PHB : PHK : PLB
LDA.w SprSubtype, X : CMP.b #$02 : BEQ +
JSR Sprite_Keese_Draw
JSL Sprite_DrawShadow
JSL Sprite_CheckActive : BCC .SpriteIsNotActive
JSR Sprite_Keese_Main
.SpriteIsNotActive
JMP ++
+
JSR Sprite_VampireBat_Draw
JSL Sprite_DrawShadow
JSL Sprite_CheckActive : BCC ++
JSR Sprite_VampireBat_Main
++
PLB
RTL
}
```
## Initialization (`Sprite_Keese_Prep`)
This routine initializes sprite properties upon spawning, including health and prize, based on its subtype.
```asm
Sprite_Keese_Prep:
{
PHB : PHK : PLB
LDA.b #$80 : STA.w SprDefl, X
LDA.b #$30 : STA.w SprTimerC, X
LDA.w SprSubtype, X : CMP.b #$02 : BNE +
LDA.b #$20 : STA.w SprHealth, X
BRA ++
+
LDA.b #$03 : STA.w SprNbrOAM, X
LDA.b #$03 : STA.w SprPrize, X
++
PLB
RTL
}
```
## Main Logic & State Machine (`Sprite_Keese_Main`)
The Keese's behavior is managed by a state machine with `Keese_Idle` and `Keese_FlyAround` states.
* **`Keese_Idle`**: The sprite remains stationary until Link is within a certain distance, then transitions to `Keese_FlyAround`.
* **`Keese_FlyAround`**: The Keese flies around, plays an animation, checks for collisions with Link and tiles, and can initiate an attack. It uses `GetRandomInt` for varied movement and `Sprite_ProjectSpeedTowardsPlayer` to move towards Link.
```asm
Sprite_Keese_Main:
{
LDA.w SprAction, X
JSL JumpTableLocal
dw Keese_Idle
dw Keese_FlyAround
Keese_Idle:
{
STZ.w SprFrame, X
; Wait til the player is nearby then fly around
LDA.w SprTimerC, X : BEQ .move
JSL GetDistance8bit_Long : CMP.b #$20 : BCS +
.move
INC.w SprAction, X
JSL GetRandomInt
STA.w SprTimerA, X
+
RTS
}
Keese_FlyAround:
{
%PlayAnimation(0,5,8)
JSL Sprite_CheckDamageToPlayer
JSL Sprite_CheckDamageFromPlayer : BCC +
JSL ForcePrizeDrop_long
+
JSL Sprite_DamageFlash_Long
JSL Sprite_BounceFromTileCollision
JSL GetRandomInt : AND.b #$3F : BNE +
LDA.b #$10 : STA.w SprTimerC, X
+
JSR Sprite_Keese_Attack
LDA.w SprTimerA, X : AND.b #$10 : BNE +
LDA.b #$40
JSL Sprite_ProjectSpeedTowardsPlayer
+
JSL Sprite_SelectNewDirection
JSL Sprite_Move
LDA.w SprTimerA, X : BNE +
STZ.w SprAction, X
+
RTS
}
}
```
## Attack Logic (`Sprite_Keese_Attack`)
This routine handles the Keese's attack, which varies by subtype:
* **Ice Keese (`SprSubtype = 0`)**: Spawns sparkle garnish and a blind laser trail.
* **Fire Keese (`SprSubtype = 1`)**: Utilizes `Sprite_Twinrova_FireAttack`.
```asm
Sprite_Keese_Attack:
{
LDA.w SprTimerC, X : BEQ +
LDA.w SprSubtype, X : BEQ ++
JSL Sprite_Twinrova_FireAttack
JMP +
++
JSL Sprite_SpawnSparkleGarnish
JSL BlindLaser_SpawnTrailGarnish
+
RTS
}
```
## Drawing (`Sprite_Keese_Draw`)
The drawing routine handles OAM allocation, animation, and palette adjustments based on the sprite's subtype. It explicitly uses `REP #$20` and `SEP #$20` for 16-bit coordinate calculations.
```asm
Sprite_Keese_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.w SprSubtype, X : CMP.b #$01 : BNE +
LDA.b #$0A : EOR $08 : STA $08
+

## Design Patterns
* **Subtype-based Behavior**: The sprite uses `SprSubtype` to implement distinct behaviors and appearances for Ice Keese, Fire Keese, and Vampire Bat, all under a single `!SPRID`.
* **Dynamic Property Initialization**: Health and prize values are set dynamically during the `_Prep` routine based on the sprite's subtype.
* **Conditional Drawing and Palette**: The drawing routine adjusts the sprite's palette and potentially its graphics based on its subtype, allowing for visual differentiation.
* **Randomized Movement**: Utilizes `GetRandomInt` to introduce variability in movement patterns, making the enemy less predictable.
* **Projectile Attacks**: Implements different projectile attacks based on subtype, showcasing varied offensive capabilities.
* **16-bit OAM Calculations**: Demonstrates explicit use of `REP #$20` and `SEP #$20` for precise 16-bit OAM coordinate calculations, which is crucial for accurate sprite rendering.
