In an effort to gather all of the information needed to write new, functional, levels for Dyson, I’ve made a listing of all of the various variables for Dyson as collected from the F2 menu in the debug mode. I’m trying to collect a definition of all of these variables as well as min/max values that can be used for each without causing errors. I’ve put the definitions I’ve been able to figure out or guess in. Please let me know if I’m wrong about any of these. ?’s surround my guesses, I’d like confirmation or correction regarding these. I will update this with any info I get.

* The formula for asteroid radius is (I’m guessing):
RADIUS = MNR + (MXR – MNR) * (SEN * EN + SSPD * SPD + SSTR * STR) / (SEN + SSP + SSTR)
RADIUS = Asteroid Radius
MNR = MINRADIUS
MXR = MAX RADIUS
