- **SafeUpdateSprites**: Set BG map mode to 0 (disabled) and disable OAM update + UpdateSprites + enable OAM update + DelayFrame + restore original state of BG map mode and OAM update
- **UpdateSprites**: Compute state of overworld sprites to wShadowOAM. Disable OAM update while editing wShadowOAM, and restore its original state when finished
- **ApplyPals**: Copy wBGPals1 into wBGPals2 and wOBPals1 into wOBPals2. Does not request pal update during vblank by itself
- **ApplyAttrmap**: Set BG map mode to 2 (pals) and delay 4 frames, and finally restore original state BG map mode. If LCD disabled instead copy all pals at once immediately
- **ApplyTilemap**: Set BG map mode to 1 (tiles) and delay 4 frames. If wSpriteUpdatesEnabled is non-0, instead call CopyTilemapAtOnce to do it all in one frame. This delays the next vblank to LY ~$7f
- **LoadScreenTilemap**: From the metatile-based 24x20 map in wSurroundingTiles, load the corresponding 20x18 tiles to wTilemap. Later, BackupBGMap* from ScrollMap* copies new row/column from wTilemap to wBGMapBuffer. _ScrollBGMapPalettes populates wBGMapPalBuffer based on the tiles at wBGMapBuffer. These are read during vblank by UpdateBGMapBuffer.
- **LoadScreenAttrmapPals**: Load wAttrmap palette numbers based on the tileset palettes of the current map. Called only by LoadScreenTilemapAndAttrmapPals.
- **LoadScreenTilemapAndAttrmapPals**: LoadScreenTilemap + LoadScreenAttrmapPals. Often used to reload screen after closing a text box.
- **ReanchorBGMap_NoOAMUpdate**: LoadScreenTilemapAndAttrmapPals + HDMATransferTilemapAndAttrmap_OpenAndCloseMenu, then fill BG map with all black while Window is displayed, finally anchor map and objects. Shall by followed by CopyTilemapAtOnce or by a HDMATransferTilemapAndAttrmap_* to redraw the screen.
- **HDMATransferTilemapAndAttrmap_OpenAndCloseMenu**, **HDMATransferTilemapAndAttrmap_OverworldEffect**: Similar, but with slightly different scanline timing. So they're essentially like RefreshScreen minus the anchoring part.
- **DisableWindowHUD**: Configure LCD interrupt in hblank mode
- **LoadHUD**: Load the HUD at wWhichHUD to the top of wTilemap and wAttrmap
- **LoadWindowHUD**: Like LoadHUD, but for HUDs that require a Window overlay. Only does anything if hWindowHUDLY is non-0
- **ConstructOverworldHUDTilemap**: Draw the overworld HUD's tilemap into wOverworldHUDTiles
- **TransferOverworldHUDToBGMap**: Transfer overworld HUD to vBGMap1/vBGMap3 during v/hblank(s). Tilemap is read from wOverworldHUDTiles, attrmap is all PAL_BG_TEXT | PRIORITY.
- **reloadmappart**: LoadScreenTilemapAndAttrmapPals + GetMovementPermissions + HDMATransferTilemapAndAttrmap_OverworldEffect + UpdateSprites. Similar to refreshscreen, but does not reanchor. On the other hand, it refreshes movement permissions. Often used after a block change or field move, which can affect collisions.

- **wTurnData** ~ **wTurnDataEnd**: not preserved on save, and cleared at the beginning of BoardMenuScript (i.e. on turn begin). It's part of *wMapStatus* ~ *wMapStatusEnd*, so it's also cleared by *StartMap*. Includes:
1) ``OverworldLoop`` is called from ``GameMenu_WorldMap`` with either ``hMapEntryMethod`` = ``MAPSETUP_ENTERLEVEL`` or ``hMapEntryMethod`` = ``MAPSETUP_CONTINUE``.
2) ``StartMap`` resets ``wCurTurn`` and ``wCurSpace`` if ``MAPSETUP_ENTERLEVEL``. ``StartMap`` sets ``hCurBoardEvent`` to ``BOARDEVENT_DISPLAY_MENU``. ``wScriptFlags2`` is cleared. ``wMapStatus`` is set to ``MAPSTATUS_HANDLE`` causing ``HandleMap`` to be called.
3) ``MapEvents`` (from ``HandleMap``) calls ``PlayerEvents``. ``CheckBoardEvent`` queues ``BoardMenuScript`` which is executed by ``ScriptEvents``.
- If player exits, the ``exitoverworld`` script sets ``wMapStatus`` to ``MAPSTATUS_DONE``. This causes ``OverworldLoop`` to return back to the game menu. **Exit this workflow**.
5) Player rolls die and the animation plays. After the animation, ``wDisplaySecondarySprites``.``SECONDARYSPRITES_SPACES_LEFT_F`` is set and ``hCurBoardEvent`` is set to ``BOARDEVENT_HANDLE_BOARD``. At the end of this ``HandleMap`` iteration, ``CheckPlayerState`` sets ``wMapEventStatus`` to ``MAPEVENTS_ON`` (``wScriptFlags2`` is not touched so it remains cleared).
6) In the next ``HandleMap`` iteration, ``CheckBoardEvent`` from ``PlayerEvents`` jumps to ``.board`` and then to ``.no_space_effect`` due to ``wScriptFlags2[4]`` not being set.
7) Execution continues in ``PlayerEvents``; ``OWPlayerInput`` is eventually called, and thus ``DoPlayerMovement``. Here, ``StepTowardsNextSpace`` computes based on ``wCurSpaceNextSpace`` what direction key to write to ``wCurInput``, causing the player to begin a movement in that direction.
8) The player may need to turn to a different direction through the ``ChangeDirectionScript`` (when ``DoPlayerMovement`` returns with ``PLAYERMOVEMENT_TURN``). Otherwise or after that, ``CheckPlayerState`` sets ``wMapEventStatus`` to ``MAPEVENTS_OFF``,
9) When the step finishes (i.e. ``PLAYERSTEP_STOP_F`` becomes set) in some ``HandleMap`` iteration, ``CheckPlayerState`` sets ``wScriptFlags2`` to $ff and ``wMapEventStatus`` to ``MAPEVENTS_ON``.
10) In the next ``HandleMap`` iteration, ``CheckBoardEvent.board`` is called with ``wScriptFlags2[4]`` set.
- If player is not above a tile (``wPlayerTile``) with a space collision: ``wScriptFlags2[4]`` is reset. **Go back to 7**.
- If player is above a tile, the corresponding space script is queued to be executed by ``ScriptEvents`` in the current ``HandleMap`` iteration. ``wScriptFlags2[4]`` is reset. **Continue to 11**.
11) The space script loads the value of ``wCurSpaceNextSpace`` into ``wCurSpace``, loads the new space data to ``wCurSpaceStruct[]``, and decreases ``wSpacesLeft``.
- If the space is an End Space, a fading out animation plays and then the ``exitoverworld`` script sets ``wMapStatus`` to ``MAPSTATUS_DONE``. This causes ``OverworldLoop`` to return back to the game menu. **Exit this workflow**.
12) The script code specific to the space type of the landed-on space is executed.
- If player whites out in battle, ``Script_BattleWhiteout`` executes ``exitoverworld``. **Exit this workflow**.
13) The landed-on space is disabled by executing a block change that converts it into a Grey Space. ``hCurBoardEvent`` is set to ``BOARDEVENT_END_TURN``. ``CheckBoardEvent`` does nothing in this state. In the first subsequent ``HandleMap`` iteration where no other kind of event triggers causing ``PlayerEvents`` to return early, ``hCurBoardEvent`` is set to ``BOARDEVENT_DISPLAY_MENU``.
