"Unless you meant that there is no Main Loop Patch Vector, but that those things are implemented via a Portal Patch Vector?"
Although aren't Portal Patch Vectors only activated when Willy enters the portal, rather than when the portal starts flashing (or in this case, turns red)? In which case a Portal Patch Vector couldn't be used to cause changes to layout/guardian parameter [rope length] at the point when all items have been collected.
Random thought, inspired by the above: would it be possible to have a Portal Patch Vector which responds to Willy's Direction Flag, and sends him to different destinations if he's facing leftwards, or rightwards, as he enters the portal?
