Moving: MVEIT (Part 7 of 9)

[6502 Second Processor version]

Name: MVEIT (Part 7 of 9) [Show more] Type: Subroutine Category: Moving Summary: Move current ship: Rotate ship's orientation vectors by pitch/roll Deep dive: Orientation vectors Pitching and rolling
Context: See this subroutine in context in the source code References: No direct references to this subroutine in this source file

This routine has multiple stages. This stage does the following: * Rotate the ship's orientation vectors according to our pitch and roll As with the previous step, this is all about moving the other ships rather than us (even though we are the one doing the moving). So we rotate the current ship's orientation vectors (which defines its orientation in space), by the angles we are "moving" the rest of the sky through (alpha and beta, our roll and pitch), so the ship appears to us to be stationary while we rotate.
LDY #9 \ Apply our pitch and roll rotations to the current JSR MVS4 \ ship's nosev vector LDY #15 \ Apply our pitch and roll rotations to the current JSR MVS4 \ ship's roofv vector LDY #21 \ Apply our pitch and roll rotations to the current JSR MVS4 \ ship's sidev vector
