Overview

The credits sprite placement data controls which sprites are displayed, and where, during the staff credits sequence.

Format

This is a two-dimensional variable-width table. There are 24 top-level entries; each top-level entry has a variable number of 12-byte sprite entries. The sprite entries are to be read sequentially until an entry with a sprite number of -1 is read.

Field listing

• 00-01 (02) = [ A ] X
• 02-03 (02) = [ B ] Y
• 04-05 (02) = [ C ] Sprite number
• 06-07 (02) = [ D ] Animation index
• 08-09 (02) = [ E ] Animation frame
• 0A-0B (02) = [ F ] Layering priority

Sprite number

The sprite number is an index into the sprite bank.

Animation

Rather than choose a sprite index directly, the game chooses a particular frame number of a sprite animation.
