Elite on the BBC Micro and NES

Moving: MVS5

[BBC Micro disc version, Docked]

Name: MVS5 [Show more] Type: Subroutine Category: Moving Summary: Apply a 3.6 degree pitch or roll to an orientation vector Deep dive: Orientation vectors Pitching and rolling by a fixed angle
Context: See this subroutine in context in the source code References: This subroutine is called as follows: * HAS1 calls MVS5 * MVEIT (Part 8 of 9) calls MVS5

Pitch or roll a ship by a small, fixed amount (1/16 radians, or 3.6 degrees), in a specified direction, by rotating the orientation vectors. The vectors to rotate are given in X and Y, and the direction of the rotation is given in RAT2. The calculation is as follows: * If the direction is positive: X = X * (1 - 1/512) + Y / 16 Y = Y * (1 - 1/512) - X / 16 * If the direction is negative: X = X * (1 - 1/512) - Y / 16 Y = Y * (1 - 1/512) + X / 16 So if X = 15 (roofv_x), Y = 21 (sidev_x) and RAT2 is positive, it does this: roofv_x = roofv_x * (1 - 1/512) + sidev_x / 16 sidev_x = sidev_x * (1 - 1/512) - roofv_x / 16
Arguments: X The first vector to rotate: * If X = 15, rotate roofv_x * If X = 17, rotate roofv_y * If X = 19, rotate roofv_z * If X = 21, rotate sidev_x * If X = 23, rotate sidev_y * If X = 25, rotate sidev_z Y The second vector to rotate: * If Y = 9, rotate nosev_x * If Y = 11, rotate nosev_y * If Y = 13, rotate nosev_z * If Y = 21, rotate sidev_x * If Y = 23, rotate sidev_y * If Y = 25, rotate sidev_z RAT2 The direction of the pitch or roll to perform, positive or negative (i.e. the sign of the roll or pitch counter in bit 7)
