; We're going to try to animate sprites horizontally.
; Remember, we have to pause the CPU until the exact moment the
; scanline hits the desired horizontal position of the sprite.
; Since we can't hard-code the SLEEP macro we'll have to do it
; dynamically somehow. But since the TIA beam is racing so much
; faster than the CPU clock, we'll have to be clever.
