8 Sprites and then....

[SuperSixEVO]

I tried to work with sprites for creating an intro screen for the updated Dive Bomber game using sprites but running the code below shows only 8 characters on Classic99, any clues?

 

10 REM
20 CALL CLEAR
25 CALL SCREEN(2)
50 CALL MAGNIFY(2)
100 CALL SPRITE(#1,68,1,40,97,0,0)
120 CALL SPRITE(#2,73,1,40,113,0,0)
130 CALL SPRITE(#3,86,1,40,129,0,0)
140 CALL SPRITE(#4,69,1,40,145,0,0)

200 CALL SPRITE(#5,66,1,64,81,0,0)
210 CALL SPRITE(#6,79,1,64,97,0,0)
220 CALL SPRITE(#7,77,1,64,113,0,0)
230 CALL SPRITE(#8,66,1,64,129,0,0)
240 CALL SPRITE(#9,69,5,64,145,0,0)
250 CALL SPRITE(#10,82,5,64,161,0,0)

 

1000 CALL COLOR(#1,5,#2,5,#3,5,#4,5)
1010 CALL COLOR(#5,5,#6,5,#7,5,#8,5)
1020 CALL COLOR(#9,5,#10,5)
1100 FOR I=1 TO 5000 :: NEXT I

You can only display 4 sprites in a row horizontally.

 

It is a hardware limitation of the 9918 VDP chip.
