Elite on the BBC Micro and NES

Moving: MVT3, Removed

[Elite-A, Docked]

Name: MVT3, Removed [Show more] Type: Subroutine Category: Moving Summary: Calculate K(3 2 1) = (x_sign x_hi x_lo) + K(3 2 1)
Context: See this subroutine in context in the source code References: No direct references to this subroutine in this source file

Add an INWK position coordinate - i.e. x, y or z - to K(3 2 1), like this: K(3 2 1) = (x_sign x_hi x_lo) + K(3 2 1) The INWK coordinate to add to K(3 2 1) is specified by X.
Arguments: X The coordinate to add to K(3 2 1), as follows: * If X = 0, add (x_sign x_hi x_lo) * If X = 3, add (y_sign y_hi y_lo) * If X = 6, add (z_sign z_hi z_lo)
Returns: A Contains a copy of the high byte of the result, K+3 X X is preserved
