Name: CIRCLE2 Type: Subroutine Category: Drawing circles Summary: Draw a circle (for the planet or chart) Deep dive: Drawing circles
Draw a circle with the centre at (K3, K4) and radius K. Used to draw the planet and the chart circles.
Arguments: STP The step size for the circle K The circle's radius K3(1 0) Pixel x-coordinate of the centre of the circle K4(1 0) Pixel y-coordinate of the centre of the circle
Returns: C flag The C flag is cleared
This variation is blank in the Cassette, Disc (flight), Disc (docked), Master and Electron versions.
Other entry points: CIRCLE3 Just add the circle segments to the existing ball line heap - do not send the send the ball line heap to the I/O processor for drawing on-screen
