you can't multiplex sprites so that more than 8 appear on the same line.
the secret is to pretend you have a 9th sprite by emulating it with characters that look exactly like one of the sprites would.
- egypturnash 2y agoThat stops working when you open the borders and put sprites outside the area the video chip will render characters/bitmaps.
- eru 2y agoYes, but the demo is really cheeky about that. The borders are open when you can still do the normal multiplexing, because there's lots of vertical separation between the sprites. Later, when they put the sprites together on the same line, the borders are closed.
- jchw 2y agoBut in this case, that (alone) can't be it because all 9 sprites clip (smoothly) in and out of the border. So they've really gotten cheeky with this one.
