Sprite Extra  © 1987 Popular Computing Weekly

This program was written by me, Neil Kendall. This allowed 16 sprites were available to the programmer instead of the usual 8. This was achieved with a "raster-split" half way down the screen. The program was written in 6502 machine code.

Many thanks to Rob Nicoletti for typing in this program, so that it can be downloaded.

I used another great utility from David Buchan, which allows BASIC programs to be printed from the VICE emulator and then be converted into a pdf file that looks like it was printed with an old Commodore dot matrix printer, to produce this pdf file of the program.
