Drawing ships: SHIP_SPLINTER

[BBC Micro disc version, Ship blueprints D]

Name: SHIP_SPLINTER [Show more] Type: Variable Category: Drawing ships Summary: Ship blueprint for a splinter Deep dive: Ship blueprints
Context: See this variable in context in the source code Variations: See code variations for this variable in the different versions References: This variable is used as follows: * XX21 uses SHIP_SPLINTER

The ship blueprint for the splinter reuses the edges data from the escape pod, so the edges data offset is negative.
