lettersToBoxelCode(l1, l2, l3, n1): number

Defined in: src/astro/system-name.ts:71

Pack a boxel's (l1, l2, l3, n1) letter code into the single base-26 index the address format uses (the boxel code).

number

First letter as a zero-based index, 0–25 (A–Z).

number

Second letter as a zero-based index, 0–25.

number

Third letter as a zero-based index, 0–25.

number

The boxel number that follows the letters (d11-96 → 11), a non-negative integer small enough that the packed code stays exact.

number

The packed base-26 boxel code.

If any letter is not an integer in 0–25, or n1 is not an integer between 0 and the largest value that still packs exactly. Such a field packs as a different boxel than the one asked for rather than failing.
