Overlapped Sprites
jEnd of sprite data
For more complex or larger moving objects, you can overlap sprites. Overlapping simply
means
that the sprites have the same or relatively close screen positions. A relatively
close screen position can result in an object
that is wider than 16 pixels.
The built-in sprite video priority ensures that one sprite appears to be behind the other
when sprites are overlapped.
The priority circuitry gives the lowest-numbered sprite the
highest priority and the highest numbered sprite the lowest priority. Therefore, when
designing displays with overlapped sprites, make sure the "foreground" sprite has a
lower number than the "background" sprite. In figure 4-11, for example, the cage
should be generated by a lower-numbered sprite DMA channel than the monkey.
