A pie leaves the original's mark where it hits, and COL's tile byte +5 has a name.

The mark (0x8008652c). A flight whose record has +0x2a set (the pies' 284, from 0x80061c98's desc +0x46) calls 0x8008652c at a hit:

• It sounds 46 at the player (worklog 201).
• It turns a sprite to the face met (0x8008e6c8): angles (x, y) = (-asin(-ny), ratan2(-nx, -nz)) of the normal.
• It adds the sprite to the flat-sprite pool (0x8008e76c, or 0x8008e72c with +0x8a): sprite 284, a square of half side 900 (+0x8c, desc +0x68) at the point met.
• Its grey is the COL tile's byte +5 there, or 128 when what it met was no tile (0x800869cc).

The pool's entry has +0x08 0 (0x8008e240), and the pool's frame (0x8008e670) frees any entry without +0x08 bit 1 after drawing it (0x8008e694). So the mark is a flash: drawn the frame of the hit, and gone. Game::marks, made in fly and drawn with the flights through the sprite quad (Sprites::quad, as golf's aim line, 0x8008e508).

COL tile +5 is the shade: what a body's brightness (+0x3a) eases toward from the record under it (+0x8c +5), and a mark's grey. rugrats-data::col names it.
