Execution Flow Between Subprograms

Description Template

<-subprogram name with parameters>

1 - <what it does>,
2 - <what it returns>,
3 - <where it is called>.
4 - <what it calls>.

int main(int argc, char* argv);

1 – This is the executable function, it makes the initializations and finalizations, handles the game's
flow.
4 – It calls the functions update_idt, restore_idt.

void move_orc(Orc orc);

1 – This function is used to move orcs on the screen.
3 – It is called in timer_isr.
4 – It calls the function print_on_screen;

void move_player(Player player);

1 – This function is used to move the players on the screen.
3 – It is called in keyboard_isr();
4 – It calls the function print_on_screen;

void print_on_screen(int x_coordinate, int y_coordinate, char ch);

- contains assembly code
1 – This function is used to print a charater on the screen at the given coordinate.
3 – It is called in move_orc, move_player, timer_isr;

void update_idt();
- contains assembly code
1 – This function is used to update the keyboard and timer interrupt service routines.
3 – It is called in main.
4 – It calls the functions get_isr, set_isr.

void restore_idt();
- contains assembly code
1 – This function is used to restore the actual keyboard and timer interrupt service routines.
3 – It is called in main.
4 – It calls the functions get_isr, set_isr.

isr_pointer get_isr(int idt_index);

- contains assembly code
1 – This function is used to get a pointer to the interrupt service routine at the given IDT index.
2 – It returns a pointer to the relevatn interrupt service routine.
3 – It is called in update_idt, restore_idt.

void set_isr(int idt_index, isr_Pointer isr);

1 – This function is used to set the interrupt service routine at the given IDT index with function
pointed with isr.
3 – It is called in update_idt, restore_idt.

void interrupt keyboard_isr();

- contains assembly code
1 – This function is used to handle keyboard interrupts.
3 – It is called when a key is pressed on the keyboard.
4 – It calls the function move_player;

void interrupt timer_isr();

- contains assembly code
1 – This function is used to handle the timer interrupt. It moves the orcs at a certain frequency and
prints the time elapsed at the screen.
4 – It calls the functions move_orc, print_on_screen.
