AsmGen - code generator for sprites, fonts, and images for Apple ][ hi-res and
Atari 8-bit computers
This program creates 6502 (or 65c02) code that draws sprites using unrolled
loops for each shifted shape. By removing data shifts, image lookups, and loops
the images can be drawn much faster than otherwise possible.
This program creates 6502 (or 65c02) code for several tasks, including a sprite
complier (based on `HiSprite <https://github.com/blondie7575/HiSprite>`_) that
hardcodes sprite data in unrolled loops for each shifted shape. By removing
image lookups and loops, sprites can be drawn much faster than otherwise
possible.
Other utilities include generating code for reporting screen damage, a fast
bitmap font renderer, and generation for all the row/column lookup tables for

This program started life as a fork of Quinn Dunki's `HiSprite

The sample font is modified from Michael Pohoreski's `excellent tutorial on
Apple II fonts <https://github.com/Michaelangel007/apple2_hgr_font_tutorial>`_.
