  "Screen 1 of the game (entered at $7587, selected with the function key giving screen id 1) is the comcen's RADAR / MISSILE screen in overlay variant B: a 21x17-cell map window at screen (3,3) centred on the player's comcen (grid cell (10,8), one 8x8 character per map cell), a DRONE ALERT panel (windows $0A-$0C, top right), a FIRE button (window 9, 2x2 picture $9804 at (10,32) + 'FIRE') and a MISSILES panel (windows 7/8) showing the missiles left ($9232, copied from missilesLeft[0] $92B0) as two tall digits at (17,32). Border and background are $0C.",
  "Radar sweep mechanics: a 14-row light band wipes down the 17 rows every ~62 frames (2 frames per step, 31 steps). It works by writing $F0 or $00 into the screen RAM colour cells (multicolour %01 pixels light grey or black) of one row at a time, so radar blips drawn with %01 pixels appear only while the band passes. Cells with colour RAM nibble 1 (spotted enemy units, $9238) stay lit while the radar system is intact. If the comcen RADAR system is damaged ($9243 = comcenSystemStatus[2]) about half of the sweeps are blank.",
  "Enemy units are re-drawn on the radar (redrawEnemyUnitsOnRadar) every time statsNeedRefresh $920E is set, i.e. once per processed turn, with freshly randomised noise masks ($9210-$921F from sub_727A) so unspotted enemy blips shimmer.",
  "The missile target cursor is sprite 2 (the cross shape built by showComcenCrossMarker $3383); its grid position is zp_67/zp_68 and is moved by the joystick handler sub_76B2 (outside this chunk). FIRE ($763F/$764A) decrements $9232, queues command $90 col,row (radarCursorToMapCoords -> zp_74/75), animates the missile flight along a line in sprite 3 (sub_7713) and a 3-step ring burst on sprite 1 at the target, then checkStrikeHitsDrone queues $92 if the strike cell is inside the drone's 2x2 footprint - this is the only sender of command $92, which therefore means 'drone destroyed by a missile' rather than 'drone arrived'. showDroneKillBurst then shows an 11-step ring burst at the drone when the own $92 has been executed.",
  "When the comcen moves, drawScreen1Cell ($5D7F) jumps to scrollRadarOnComcenMove ($7959), which recomputes the grid origin (comcen - (10,8)), shifts the cursor so it keeps its map cell and redraws the whole window.",
  "The $9300 address tables are used with a +3 bias in this overlay: D_9303/D_931C = bitmap row address lo/hi for row 3 onwards (real tables start at $9300/$9319), D_9335/D_935D = bitmap column offset for column 3 onwards (real tables $9332/$935A), D_9385/D_939E = screen RAM ($8C00) row address for row 3 onwards (real tables $9382/$939B); adding $4C to the high byte turns a screen RAM address into the colour RAM address.",
  "mapCellToRadarGrid ($7A13) / isRadarGridCellInRange ($7A2B) / getRadarGridOrigin ($7C5C) are the shared coordinate helpers of the radar grid; $7A13 is an entry point used by the main program ($340B) and by both communications-module variants ($EE7C in build 1, $EEE1 in the $EE00 sub-overlay), so its address must stay fixed across overlay builds.",
  "Window table entries used here (left,top,width,height): 5=(1,1,25,21) 6=(2,2,23,19) radar frame; 7=(27,15,12,7) 8=(31,16,4,4) missiles panel; 9=(29,8,8,7) fire button; $0A=(28,0,11,8) $0B=(29,1,9,6) $0C=(30,2,7,4) drone alert panel.",
  "Strings in overlay B used by this chunk: $869D 'FIRE', $86A1 'DRONE<CR>ALERT' (bit-7 terminated; $868C 'DRONE', $8691 'LAUNCH', $8697 'STRIKE' precede them and belong to screen 2); 'MISSILES' lives in the $C000 overlay at $CC9E.",
  "sub_C428 in the $C000 overlay converts A to two decimal digits stored at $C44F (tens) and $C450 (ones) (and a hundreds/leading flag at $C44E); drawTallGlyph ($2BB7) then draws each digit as a 2-row glyph."
