"incidentally, i stumbled into the 'memory map'
in jswed today and realised that you can have three
guardian tables and loads of extra sprite tables - the
memory is just sitting there! you guys had probably
worked this out but there's me, trying to conserve
guardian slots, quite oblivious :)"
Oh yes indeedy.
Right now JSWvsBeatles has 3 tables. I'm thinking of
moving the tiny number of guardians in table 3 to table
2, thus freeing up space for more sprites (I need to
reinstate the pigs, for a George room), but at the same
time I'm afraid of using up all my guardian spaces. Oh
the dilemma.
Thinking of sprites, it has come
to me that really, the next game I do, I must delete
the entire sprite table before anything else, to keep
me from relying on those guardians.
