Characters in the scroll text are drawn using lines on a 3x6 grid like this: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The spacing of the grid points is configured like this (in terms of space coordinates): 0 . . . 0.5 * WY . . . 1.0 * WY . . . 1.5 * WY . . . 2.0 * WY . . . 2.5 * WY . . . 4 8 12 so the vertical spacing is controlled by configuration variable WY. The default value of WY is 12, so the vertical grid spacing is 6, while the horizontal grid spacing is 4. When drawing letters, only 12 of the 18 points can be used. They are numbered as follows: 0 1 2 . . . 3 4 5 . . . 6 7 8 9 A B The x-coordinate of point n within the grid (relative to the top-left corner) is given by the n-th entry in the NOFX table, while the y-coordinate is given by the n-th entry in NOFY. So point 0 is at (NOFX+0, NOFX+0) = (4, 0), and point 8 is at (NOFX+8, NOFX+8) = (12, 2 * WY). The LTDEF table contains definitions for all the letters and some punctuation characters. Each definition consists of 5 bytes, with each byte describing one line in the character's shape (bytes with value 0 are ignored, so each character consists of up to five lines but can contain fewer lines). The low nibble of each byte is the starting point for that line segment, and the high nibble is the end point, so a value of &28, for example, means "draw a line from point 8 to point 2". Let's look at a few examples to make this clearer. The definition in LTDEF for "A" is: &60, &02, &28, &35, &00 This translates to the following: &60 = line from point 0 to point 6 &02 = line from point 2 to point 0 &28 = line from point 8 to point 2 &35 = line from point 5 to point 3 &00 = ignore which looks like this on the grid: +-------+ | . | +-------+ | . | | . | . . . The definition in LTDEF for "S" is: &20, &03, &35, &58, &86 This translates to the following: &20 = line from point 0 to point 2 &03 = line from point 3 to point 0 &35 = line from point 5 to point 3 &58 = line from point 8 to point 5 &86 = line from point 6 to point 8 which looks like this on the grid: +-------+ | . . +-------+ . . | +-------+ . . . The definition in LTDEF for "," is: &63, &34, &47, &76, &97 This translates to the following: &63 = line from point 3 to point 6 &34 = line from point 4 to point 3 &47 = line from point 7 to point 4 &76 = line from point 6 to point 7 &97 = line from point 7 to point 9 which looks like this on the grid: . . . . . . +---+ . | | . +---/ . _.-´. . Colons and semi-colons are shown as spaces (as their LTDEF definitions are all zeroes), so when a string like "TURMOIL,THE:NAVY" is displayed, the comma is shown as a comma, but the colon is shown as a space. The scroll text has 16 characters per line, as the character width in #W2 is set to 16 by default, and the width of the whole scroll text is 256.
