Sprite

A "sprite" in TIC-80 is an 8 pixel wide and 8 pixel tall image. Each pixel is drawn using one of the 16 available colors from the palette. Lower BPP blitting modes are also available - allowing 2 or 4 color sprites.

Sprites can be divided into foreground sprites and background sprites (which are called tiles). The TILES section of RAM stores background sprites while the SPRITES section stores foreground sprites.

• TILES - 256 background tiles (0..255)
• SPRITES - 256 foreground sprites (256..511)

A sprite can be directly draw in the screen using the spr function or used in the Map Editor as tiles (and then drawn with map.
