Sly 1:WS

This article is about the state of worlds in Sly 1. For the data structure that controls the game state in Sly 2 and 3, see DAG.

WS (World State) is a data structure in Sly 1. It stores an array of Level States, one for each level in the world.

Structure

The WS struct is declared as follows:

struct WS {
    struct LS als[9]; /* Level states array */
    dword ckey; /* Count of keys collected on world */
    dword cvault; /* Count of vaults opened on world */
    dword ctimed; /* Count of MTS completed on world */
    float dt; /* Time spent in world */
    enum FWS fws; /* World state flags */
};

Level states array

Each WS stores an array of 9 LS structs, called als, even if the world has fewer than 9 levels (such as Worlds 0 and 5). In the case of an unused level, the corresponding level state is blank and ignored.

The level states are always aligned in the als array so the indices are as follows:

• als[0]: Intro level
• als[1]: Hub level
• als[2] - als[7]: Generic levels
• als[8]: Boss fight

Because World 5 has no hub level and fewer than 6 generic levels, it is the only gameworld with gaps between levels in the als array.

World state flags

The current state of the world is defined by the FWS enum, which has the following possible values:

FWS_Visited	0x1
FWS_Lock_0	0x2
FWS_Lock_1	0x4
FWS_Lock_2	0x8
FWS_Lock_3	0x10
GRFWS_Lock_All	0x1e
