How many var## are there?

Sorry I've been making a bunch of threads lately with simple answers, but I want to know how many playfield variables there are.

From what I understand the playfield is stored in variables like

var0 var1 var2 var3

...

but how far does that go? DPC+ playfields usually have much more than just 11/12 rows so does bB just make as many as it needs?

DPC+ doesn't use playfield variables that we can access.

 

Here's a chart showing the standard kernel playfield variables:

Here are some charts showing various Superchip RAM playfield variables:

That's a shame, then there's no way to shift the playfield left or right like I had planned to?

 

As far as I know, we can only scroll the DPC+ playfield up or down:
