[6502 Second Processor version]

Name: DOT [Show more] Type: Subroutine Category: Drawing pixels Summary: Draw a dash on the compass by sending a #DOdot command to the I/O processor
Context: See this subroutine in context in the source code Variations: See code variations for this subroutine in the different versions References: This subroutine is called as follows: * COMPAS calls DOT

Draw a dash on the compass.
Arguments: COMX The screen pixel x-coordinate of the dash COMY The screen pixel y-coordinate of the dash COMC The colour and thickness of the dash: * #WHITE2 = a double-height dash in white, for when the object in the compass is in front of us * #GREEN2 = a single-height dash in green, for when the object in the compass is behind us
