 #pragma mark Police Quest 4
 
+// In Police Quest 4 inside the Bitty Kitty show (room 315), the player has to first talk with a young woman, show her the police badge, then
+// show her the red shoe. She will tell the player that may "Barbie" knows more.
+// After leaving and entering later (not detailed here), Barbie will be available.
+// Now the player needs to show her the police badge as well and then it goes a bit weird.
+//
+// The player can show her the red shoe immediately, which will work dialog-wise, but points won't be awarded and the corresponding flag will also not get set.
+// Internally the game checks if some regular talking dialog (for Barbie) has been accessed before awarding the points and setting the flags.
+// When the player does not recognize this, the player may get stuck and it will look as if a game breaking glitch has happened.
+//
+// Showing the red shoe to the young woman AND showing it to Barbie is all done using the same script.
+// It works via shoeShoe::changeState.
+//
+// The code in there of state 0 checks first who is currently inside the room using stripper::noun.
+// Afterwards for the young woman it checks local 3 if it's zero or not zero.
+// Local 3 is set, when the player has shown the police badge to the person, that is currently inside the room.
+//
+// For Barbie strangely global 9Ah is checked instead, which then causes those issues.
+//
+// We change the Barbie code to also check local 3, which seems to work out.
+// We can't simply remove the check, otherwise the flag will get set even when the player
+// hasn't shown the badge, which will cause Barbie to not answer the question and the player
+// won't be able to show her the shoe a second time.
+//
+// This of course also happened, when using the original interpreter.
+//
+// Applies to at least: English floppy, German floppy, English CD
+// Responsible method: showShoe::changeState(0) - script 315
