Landscape

Six attributes hold the information about a tile. This can be seen in the Landscape document. This page tries to give an overview of used and free bits of the array so you can quickly see what is used and what is not.

O - bit is free
X - bit is used
- bit of attribute is abused for different purposes, i.e. other bits define the actual meaning.
~ - bit is accessed, but does not really have a meaning (e.g. owner of clear land is always OWNER_NONE)

type_height - 8 bits in size, stores tile height (lower 4 bits) and tile class (upper 4 bits)
m1 - 8 bits in size, used to identify the owner of that tile (eg piece of rail, bridge, etc.)
m2 - 16 bits in size, used to identify the index of the given tile (object) in the (object-)array
m3 - 8 bits in size, is used for general storage
m4 - 8 bits in size, is used for general storage
m5 - 8 bits in size, is used for general storage
m6 - 8 bits in size, special meaning : lower 2 bits only valid in tropic climate, upper 2 bits for bridges
m7 - 8 bits in size, is used for general storage
