Source node
Chevron
An angled bracket, or chevron. Stack and repeat it for arrows, speed lines, and rank badges.
What it does
Chevron is a source node: it makes a picture from nothing, so it sits at the start of a visual chain. It has no input and gives picture out, so it starts a chain.
Try it
Feed it into Mirror Tile to build a scrolling zig-zag pattern.
Inputs and outputs
Inputs
- None. It starts a chain.
