# Hardware Sprites — SimpleSprite, MoveSprite
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The Amiga has **8 hardware sprites**, each 16 pixels wide with 3 colours + transparent. Sprites are DMA-driven — the Copper sets their pointers each frame and the display hardware renders them with zero CPU overhead.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Sprite DMA Data Format
|
||||
|
||||
Each sprite scanline is two words (4 bytes):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Word 0 (DATA): bits 15–0 = pixel colour bit 0 for this line
|
||||
Word 1 (DATB): bits 15–0 = pixel colour bit 1 for this line
|
||||
|
||||
Pixel colour = (DATB_bit << 1) | DATA_bit
|
||||
00 = transparent
|
||||
01 = colour 1 (from sprite palette)
|
||||
10 = colour 2
|
||||
11 = colour 3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Sprite Header
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
WORD 0: VSTART (vertical start position) + HSTART high bits
|
||||
WORD 1: VSTOP (vertical stop position) + control bits
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### End marker
|
||||
```
|
||||
WORD 0: 0x0000
|
||||
WORD 1: 0x0000
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Sprite Colour Palette
|
||||
|
||||
| Sprite pair | Colour registers | Custom addresses |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| 0–1 | `COLOR17`–`COLOR19` | `$DFF1A2`–`$DFF1A6` |
|
||||
| 2–3 | `COLOR21`–`COLOR23` | `$DFF1AA`–`$DFF1AE` |
|
||||
| 4–5 | `COLOR25`–`COLOR27` | `$DFF1B2`–`$DFF1B6` |
|
||||
| 6–7 | `COLOR29`–`COLOR31` | `$DFF1BA`–`$DFF1BE` |
|
||||
|
||||
Sprite pairs can be **attached** to form a single 15-colour sprite (using both sets of 2 bits = 4 bits per pixel).

## OS-Level Sprite API
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
/* graphics.library */
|
||||
struct SimpleSprite ss;
|
||||
WORD sprnum;
|
||||
|
||||
/* Obtain a free sprite: */
|
||||
sprnum = GetSprite(&ss, -1); /* -1 = any available */
|
||||
if (sprnum >= 0) {
|
||||
ss.x = 100;
|
||||
ss.y = 50;
|
||||
ss.height = 16;
|
||||
|
||||
/* Move sprite to position: */
|
||||
MoveSprite(NULL, &ss, 100, 50);
|
||||
|
||||
/* Set sprite image data: */
|
||||
ChangeSprite(NULL, &ss, spriteData);
|
||||
|
||||
/* Release: */
|
||||
FreeSprite(sprnum);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|

|
||||

||||
## Sprite Pointer Registers
|
||||
|
||||
| Register | Address | Sprite |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `SPR0PTH/L` | `$DFF120–$DFF122` | Sprite 0 |
|
||||
| `SPR1PTH/L` | `$DFF124–$DFF126` | Sprite 1 |
|
||||
| `SPR2PTH/L` | `$DFF128–$DFF12A` | Sprite 2 |
|
||||
| `SPR3PTH/L` | `$DFF12C–$DFF12E` | Sprite 3 |
|
||||
| `SPR4PTH/L` | `$DFF130–$DFF132` | Sprite 4 |
|
||||
| `SPR5PTH/L` | `$DFF134–$DFF136` | Sprite 5 |
|
||||
| `SPR6PTH/L` | `$DFF138–$DFF13A` | Sprite 6 |
|
||||
| `SPR7PTH/L` | `$DFF13C–$DFF13E` | Sprite 7 |
|
||||
|
||||
These must be set every frame — typically via the Copper list.
