       Name: PIX1
       Type: Subroutine
   Category: Maths (Arithmetic)
    Summary: Calculate (YY+1 SYL+Y) = (A P) + (S R) and draw stardust particle


 Calculate the following:

   (YY+1 SYL+Y) = (A P) + (S R)

 and draw a stardust particle at (X1,Y1) with distance ZZ.


 Arguments:

   (A P)                A is the angle ALPHA or BETA, P is always 0

   (S R)                YY(1 0) or YY(1 0) + Q * A

   Y                    Stardust particle number

   X1                   The x-coordinate offset

   Y1                   The y-coordinate offset

   ZZ                   The distance of the point (further away = smaller point)
