; We're going to use a more clever way to position sprites
; ("players") which relies on additional TIA features.
; Because the CPU timing is 3 times as coarse as the TIA's,
; we can only access 1 out of 3 possible positions using
; CPU delays alone.
; Additional TIA registers let us nudge the final position
; by discrete TIA clocks and thus target all 160 positions.
