To produce a two-dimensional shape, the sprite's single-row bitmap is altered by software from one scan line to the next. The 1979 Atari 400 and 800 home computers have similar, but more elaborate, circuitry capable of moving eight single-color objects per scan line: four 8-bit wide players and four 2-bit wide missiles. Each is the full height ...
8-Bit Theater is a sprite comic, meaning the art is mainly taken from pre-existing video game assets, created by Brian Clevinger. It was originally published from 2001 to 2010 and consists of 1,225 pages.

The Atari 8-bit computers, formally launched as the Atari Home Computer System, [4] are a series of home computers introduced by Atari, Inc., in 1979 with the Atari 400 and Atari 800. [5] The architecture is designed around the 8-bit MOS Technology 6502 CPU and three custom coprocessors which provide support for sprites , smooth ...
(A special video mode of the MMC5 mapper overrides this, assigning a subpalette to each 8×8-pixel tile.) Sprites have an additional set of four 3-color subpalettes (with color 0 being transparent in each) and every 8x8 or 8x16 pixels can have their own subpalette, allowing for a total of 12 different colors to use for sprites at any given time ...
Size selection: 8×16 or 8 pixels wide by 8 half-pixels high; Stretching: horizontal (1× or 2×) and vertical (1×, 2×, 4× or 8×) Mirroring: horizontal and vertical; Collision detection: sprite to sprite, sprite to background, and sprite to screen border; Priority: selects whether sprite appears in front of or behind background.
Each sprite is either 8×8 or 16×16 pixels and can be scaled 2× to 16×16 or 32×32. 16 KB of RAM is provided for the Video Display Processor. VDP RAM is the largest block of writeable memory in the unexpanded TI-99/4A architecture, and is used for storing disk I/O buffers and TI BASIC user programs.
