Version analysis of SHIP_ADDER

This code appears in the following versions (click to see it in the source code):

Code variations between these versions are shown below.

Name: SHIP_ADDER Type: Variable Category: Drawing ships Summary: Ship blueprint for an Adder Deep dive: Ship blueprints
.SHIP_ADDER EQUB 0 \ Max. canisters on demise = 0 EQUW 50 * 50 \ Targetable area = 50 * 50 EQUB LO(SHIP_ADDER_EDGES - SHIP_ADDER) \ Edges data offset (low) EQUB LO(SHIP_ADDER_FACES - SHIP_ADDER) \ Faces data offset (low)

Code variation 1 of 2Related to an advanced feature

The advanced versions of Elite have an extra edge count for the ship colour; Adders are shown in cyan.

Tap on a block to expand it, and tap it again to revert.

EQUB 97 \ Max. edge count = (97 - 1) / 4 = 24
EQUB 101 \ Max. edge count = (101 - 1) / 4 = 25
 EQUB 0                 \ Gun vertex               = 0
 EQUB 22                \ Explosion count          = 4, as (4 * n) + 6 = 22
 EQUB 108               \ Number of vertices       = 108 / 6 = 18
 EQUB 29                \ Number of edges          = 29
 EQUW 40                \ Bounty                   = 40
 EQUB 60                \ Number of faces          = 60 / 4 = 15

Code variation 2 of 2Related to the BBC Micro disc version

In the disc version, the Adder has a visibility distance of 23 compared to 20 in the other versions, so if one is running away from you in the disc version, it will turn into a dot later than in the others.

Tap on a block to expand it, and tap it again to revert.

EQUB 23 \ Visibility distance = 23
EQUB 20 \ Visibility distance = 20
 EQUB 85                \ Max. energy              = 85
 EQUB 24                \ Max. speed               = 24

 EQUB HI(SHIP_ADDER_EDGES - SHIP_ADDER)            \ Edges data offset (high)
 EQUB HI(SHIP_ADDER_FACES - SHIP_ADDER)            \ Faces data offset (high)

 EQUB 2                 \ Normals are scaled by    = 2^2 = 4
 EQUB %00010000         \ Laser power              = 2
                        \ Missiles                 = 0
