JSW64 to my folder in the Files area, as jsw64bits.zsm.
The clock works by having a list of 12 coordinates, corresponding to
the 12 hours. The 'enter room' patch vector sets the position to
12:00. The 'game loop' patch vector counts loops, and every 8 it moves
the first guardian in the room to the next position in the list.
The bathrooms trick is done by the 'enter room' patch vector in the
Top Landing. If Willy's running to the right, then the exit is to the
real Bathroom; otherwise it sets the right-hand exit from a list of
possibles.
