Drawing ships: SHIP_ROCK_HERMIT

[BBC Master version, Game data]

Name: SHIP_ROCK_HERMIT [Show more] Type: Variable Category: Drawing ships Summary: Ship blueprint for a rock hermit (asteroid) 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_ROCK_HERMIT

The ship blueprint for the rock hermit reuses the edges and faces data from the asteroid, so the edges and faces data offsets are negative.
