Sysvars:

V221.gif 3 .sx is a movement Sysvar. Without these, there could be no movement, just bouncing, gliding, flowing and tie-pushing.

Syntax:

  • .sx accelerates the robot . It uses memory location 3 of the bot to store how much it accelerates in that direction.

Examples:

10 .sx store

or

10 3 store

This puts 10 on the stack. Than it puts 3 on the stack. Than it stores 10 in memory location 3 of the bot (.sx) and removes 3 and 10 from the stack. The 10 in memory location 3 of the bot accelerates it +10 if it has not reached the maximum acceleration in that direction.

A robot with this gene would constantly accelerate at a rate of 10 per turn. That is to say that his velocity in that direction would increase by a value of 10. If it 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 including tie and other propulsion vectors, then the vector gets cut to a length of 40 as maximum aceleration.
