# Room 6: Cave Entrance

The player begins in a dark, ominous area surrounded by craggy mountains and vicious-looking trees. A cave bearing a skull-like resemblance juts from the mountainside, with large boulders blocking the northern exit. This room serves as an entrance area connecting to the forest and mountain regions.

## Look Description

"A cave, bearing a slight resemblance to a skull, juts out from the craggy mountainside. Huge rocks block your exit to the north, and you're completely surrounded by those grabby trees! Nice situation, huh?"

|--------|--------------|------|---------|----------|

## Technical Notes

- **Room Number**: 6
- **Picture**: 6
- **Region**: 508 (Forest Region), 511 (Mountain Region)
- **Exits**: west → 5, south → 12
- **Horizon**: 80

### State Variables

| Variable | Values | Description |
|----------|--------|-------------|
| `global100` | 0, 1 | Unknown - controls sky description (day/night) |
| `global101` | 0 | Unknown - set to 0 on room init |
| `local0` | varies | Used for onControl check |
| `gNewRoomNumber_2` | 57, 0 | Set when entering cave control area, triggers room change to 57 |

### Special Mechanics

- **Cave Entry**: The `doit` method checks if the player is on control area `$0040`. If true, sets `gNewRoomNumber_2` to 57, which likely transitions to the cave interior.
- **Entry Positions**: 
  - From west: Position adjusted based on Y coordinate (y >= 160 → x:1 y:160, y <= 84 → x:2 y:84, else x:1)
  - From south: Positioned at y:187 with x based on position (x >= 265 → x:265, x <= 100 → x:100, else maintain x)
  - From room 57: Loop 1, x:200 y:152
  - New game: x:180 y:160
- **Prop Animation**: A prop with view 628 creates an animated effect at the cave entrance.
- **Global100 Overlay**: If global100 is true, room overlay 106 is applied (nighttime variant).
