    • Linking sprites is easy. the code of the OP example should be something like:   unsigned char bat1[] = { ...}; unsigned char bat2[] = { ...}; unsigned char ball[] = { ...}; SCB_REHV_PAL sp_a =  {     BPP_4 | TYPE_NORMAL,     REHV,     0x01,u     0,     bat1,     3, 40,     0x100, 0x100,     {0x01, 0x23, 0x45, 0x67, 0x89, 0xAB, 0xCD, 0xEF} }; SCB_REHV_PAL sp_b =  {     BPP_4 | TYPE_NORMAL,     REHV,     0x01,     0,     bat2,     157, 40,     0x100, 0x100,     {0x01, 0x23, 0x45, 0x67, 0x89, 0xAB, 0xCD, 0xEF} }; SCB_REHV_PAL sp_c =  {     BPP_4 | TYPE_NORMAL,     REHV,     0x01,     0,     ball,     79, 40,     0x100, 0x100,     {0x01, 0x23, 0x45, 0x67, 0x89, 0xAB, 0xCD, 0xEF} }; void main(void) {     [init code]     while (1)     {         tgi_clear();         tgi_sprite(&sp_a);         tgi_sprite(&sp_b);         tgi_sprite(&sp_c);         tgi_updatedisplay();         while (tgi_busy()) ;         [ handle input and move sprites]     } } with linked sprites it would be:   unsigned char bat1[] = { ...}; unsigned char bat2[] = { ...}; unsigned char ball[] = { ...}; SCB_REHV_PAL sp_c =  {     BPP_4 | TYPE_NORMAL,     REHV,     0x01,     0, // // sp_c has a VOID pointer and ends the chain     ball,     3, 40,     0x100, 0x100,     {0x01, 0x23, 0x45, 0x67, 0x89, 0xAB, 0xCD, 0xEF} }; SCB_REHV_PAL sp_b =  {     BPP_4 | TYPE_NORMAL,     REHV,     0x01,     sp_c, // sp_b points to sp_c as next sprite     bat2,     157, 40,     0x100, 0x100,     {0x01, 0x23, 0x45, 0x67, 0x89, 0xAB, 0xCD, 0xEF} }; SCB_REHV_PAL sp_a =  {     BPP_4 | TYPE_NORMAL,     REHV,     0x01,     sp_b, // sp_a points to sp_b as next sprite     bat1,     79, 40,     0x100, 0x100,     {0x01, 0x23, 0x45, 0x67, 0x89, 0xAB, 0xCD, 0xEF} }; void main(void) {     [init code]     while (1)     {         tgi_clear();         tgi_sprite(&sp_a); // since sprites are chained you call suzy only once passing the first sprite of the chain         tgi_updatedisplay();         while (tgi_busy()) ;         [ handle input and move sprites]     } } also, if bat1 and bat2 are the same sprite but using different colors from the same palette you can use only bat1 and reassign the colors to draw with the penpal array of the sprite structure.   E.g. if bat1 uses a blue center line, that is the second color of the palette, and bat2 used a red color for the center line of the palette, that is the third color of the palette, you can do this:   SCB_REHV_PAL sp_b =  {     BPP_4 | TYPE_NORMAL,     REHV,     0x01,     sp_c,      bat1, // using the same sprite of sp_a     157, 40,     0x100, 0x100,     {0x02, 0x23, 0x45, 0x67, 0x89, 0xAB, 0xCD, 0xEF} // the first value of the array changed from 0x01 to 0x02, this means that for the second color of the sprite palette I'm using the third color of the screen palette };    
    • Sorted, thanks everyone 
    • Some of these older 80s games can be really difficult. I don't think I've beaten the Clubber computer player (with Rocky) in decades, will need more practice. That's where some head-to-head play can be a little more entertaining if there is someone else available and willing to engage in some retro gaming.

    • What paper did you use for your labels?
    • Thanks for details @Nop90 !   I though every sprite has its own settings (like most of the systems I worked on from now) I learnt only today, by mistake, that it's in fact using suzy registers and impact all the next sprites drawn, if not clear or re-set.   Interesting...very powerful if used correctly ! and so I probably gain some ticks if I don't set suzy registers for EACH sprite
