.up

.up (1) is a movement Sysvar.

Without these, there could be no movement, just bouncing, gliding, flowing and tie-pushing.

Sysvars:

Movement: .aimsx 6 .aimdx 5 .up 1 .sx 3 .dx 4 .dn 2 .aim 18 .setaim 19 .maxvel 11 .setboy 314 .rdboy 315 Forwards compatibility note: aimdx is the old name for aimright aimsx is the old name for aimleft

Syntax:

• .up accelerates the robot forward in the direction that he is facing.

Examples:

10 .up store

or

10 1 store

1. This puts 10 on the stack.
2. Than it puts 1 on the stack.
3. Than it stores 10 in memory location 1 of the bot (.up) and removes 1 and 10 from the stack.

The 10 in memory location 1 of the bot makes accelerates him +10 forward if he has not reached the maximum acceleration in that direction.

A robot with this gene would constantly accelerate forward at a rate of 10 per turn. That is to say that his forward velocity would increase by a value of 10. If he should rotate then the direction in which the acceleration takes place would also change.

Technical Details:

Movement values get cut above 1000 and below -1000, then added up to a single vector incluging tie and other propulsion vectors, then the vector gets cut to a lenght of 40 as maximum aceleration.
