Maths (Arithmetic): VCSUB

       Name: VCSUB                                                   [Show more]
       Type: Subroutine
   Category: Maths (Arithmetic)
    Summary: Calculate vector K3(8 0) = [x y z] - coordinates in (A V)
    Context: See this subroutine in context in the source code
 References: This subroutine is called as follows:
             * TACTICS (Part 1 of 7) calls VCSUB


 Calculate the following:

   K3(2 1 0) = (x_sign x_hi x_lo) - x-coordinate in (A V)

   K3(5 4 3) = (y_sign y_hi z_lo) - y-coordinate in (A V)

   K3(8 7 6) = (z_sign z_hi z_lo) - z-coordinate in (A V)

 where the first coordinate is from the ship data block in INWK, and the second
 coordinate is from the ship data block pointed to by (A V).
