As I promissed, here I am with an adaptation for the Mojon Twins "Fourspriter". Well, in fact I promissed just the opposite (skip this one and post the other sprite routine I'm working in), but I think this one is more suited to a basic enviroment and the other one is just great for a crap game (see my game Colour Clash of the Titans in the CSSCGC 2010 thread within the WoS games forum) but not so good if you plan to do a polished game.
The engine itself comes in assembler, and all you have to do is POKE the right adresses to configure and move your sprites (up to 4). All I have done is adding 3 subroutines to make easier the poking part, and 4 labes so you can call the different subroutines of the engine via gosub.
Here goes the code you have to include in your library folder (I called it fourspriter.bas):
The subroutines are the following:
1) Define your sprites:
fsprite (n,a,b,c,d) ; where n is the sprite number (0 to 3) and a-d are the UDGs number that compose the sprite (0-21)
2) Set the atributes for each of the sprite's UDG:
fspriteattr (n,a,b,c,d) ; n=sprite number ; a-d=attr of each UDG
3) Set the initial coords for your spries:
fspritecoord (n,y,x) ; n= sprite number ; y=vertical coord ; x=horizontal coord
The labels to be called via gosub are:
borrasprites ; this will erase the sprites, restoring the background.
initsprites ; this will select wether a sprite will be printed or not. If you don't want a sprite to be printed, you have to poke 99 into the first value of the sprite udg (i.e. fsprite (1,99,0,0,0) won't print sprite 1)
drawsprites ; this will draw the sprites on the screen
updatecoordinates ; this will update the current coordinates of each sprite, while storing the old ones so you can restore the background.

Here goes the code you have to include in your library folder (I called it fourspriter.bas):
Code:
SUB fsprite (n as uByte, a as uByte, b as uByte, c as uByte, d as uByte) 'Initialite Sprite: n (sprite number 0-3);a,b,c,d (UDG number 0-20,99 means the sprite won't be printed)
POKE @fourspriter+48*n,a
POKE @fourspriter+1+48*n,b
POKE @fourspriter+2+48*n,c
POKE @fourspriter+3+48*n,d
END sub
SUB fspritecoord (n as uByte, x as uByte, y as uByte) 'Set sprite coords: n (sprite number);x,y (vertical,horizontal coords)
POKE @fourspriter+4+48*n,x
POKE @fourspriter+5+48*n,y
POKE @fourspriter+6+48*n,x
POKE @fourspriter+7+48*n,y
END SUB
SUB fspriteattr (n as uByte, attra as uByte, attrb as uByte, attrc as uByte, attrd as uByte) 'Set sprite attrs: n (sprite number);a,b,c,d (UDG attrs)
POKE @fourspriter+40+48*n,attra
POKE @fourspriter+41+48*n,attrb
POKE @fourspriter+42+48*n,attrc
POKE @fourspriter+43+48*n,attrd
