Flight: PLUT

[BBC Micro cassette version]

Name: PLUT [Show more] Type: Subroutine Category: Flight Summary: Flip the coordinate axes for the four different views Deep dive: Flipping axes between space views
Context: See this subroutine in context in the source code Variations: See code variations for this subroutine in the different versions References: This subroutine is called as follows: * Main flight loop (Part 11 of 16) calls PLUT * LASLI calls via PU1-1

This routine flips the relevant geometric axes in INWK depending on which view we are looking through (front, rear, left, right).
Other entry points: PU1-1 Contains an RTS
