; This example demonstrates 48-pixel sprites.
; We'll use a technique similar to the Asynchronous Playfields
; trick -- reprogramming the TIA registers on-the-fly, writing
; to each register multiple times during the scanline. If we
; time our writes carefully, we'll be able to draw six unique
; sprites per scanline, for example to draw a six-digit
; scoreboard, or one large 48-pixel sprite.
