A_BrainAwake

A_BrainAwake is a code pointer used in the normal animation for the Demon Spawner.

A_BrainAwake is activated when the demon spawner observes the player for the first time. It initializes the internal table of boss targets that are used by A_BrainSpit when firing spawn cubes. Secondly, it plays the DSBOSSIT sound effect, the infamous backmasked message of "To win the game you must kill me, John Romero".

The A_BrainAwake code pointer appears in the following states in Doom's state table:
