; MULTISPRITE LIBRARY
; For lots of games, we'd like to display more than two sprites.
; There are lots of different ways to tackle this on the VCS,
; but we're going to try for a generalized approach that lets
; use have N different sprites at any X-Y coordinate, each with
; its own bitmap and color table. This is tricky because we can
; only do so much on each scanline.
; Our approach is to separate the problem into three phases.
; In the sort phase, we sort all sprites by Y coordinate.
; We do one sort pass per frame, so it may take several frames
; for the sort to stabilize.
; In the positioning phase, we look at the sprites in Y-sorted
; order, looking several lines ahead to see if a sprite is
; coming up. We then allocate it to one of the two player
; objects in hardware and set its position using the SetHorizPos
; method. We can set one or both of the player objects this way.
; In the display phase, we display the objects which we previously
; assigned and positioned. First we figure out how many scanlines are
; required. If only one object is scheduled, we just use its height.
; If two objects are scheduled, we go until the bottommost line has
; been displayed. We then loop through, fetching pixels and colors
; for one or both objects (up to four lookup tables) and setting
; registers at the appropriate time. We don't have time to do much
; else, so we don't look for any new objects to schedule until
; we're done with this loop.
; This scheme can only display up to two objects on a given
; scanline, so if the system tries to schedule a third, it will
; be ignored. Also, the positioning routine takes a few scanlines
; to complete, so if the top of a sprite is too close to the
; bottom of another sprite, the latter may not be displayed.
;
; To mitigate this, we increment a priority counter when a
; sprite entry is missed. In the sort phase, we move those sprites
; ahead of lower priority sprites in the sort order. This makes
; overlapping sprites flicker instead of randomly disappear.
; There are two separate multisprite kernels:
; MSpriteDraw1 - Single-line sprites, no playfield.
; This kernel requires TIMER_TABLE_SETUP at the 0th
; scanline, as it uses the timer to figure out the
; current scanline. No vertical clipping is performed.
; In fact, if sprites go past the bottom, it will
; mess up the vertical sync.
; MSpriteDraw2 - Double-line sprites with playfield.
; The playfield is updated and the sprites are positioned
; in 8-scanline segments.
; This kernel uses the timer internally, but does not
; use the timer table or TIMER_TABLE_SETUP.
; Sprites are clipped on the bottom edge, but disappear
; off the top edge.
; Your program must call MSpriteInit when it starts,
; and MSpriteFrame between every frame.
