; Genesis VDP - sprite table layout + linked-list management.
;
; Genesis sprites are stored in a 320- or 640-byte table in VRAM (40 or
; 80 sprites × 8 bytes each). The VDP walks the table as a LINKED LIST:
; each sprite has a `link` field giving the index of the next sprite to
; render. Link 0 = end of list. This means:
;   - Sprite priority is order-of-the-list, NOT slot order.
;   - You can rearrange visibility without touching slots: just rewrite
;     the link fields.
;   - You MUST set sprite 0's link, even if you only have one sprite -
;     otherwise the VDP walks into uninitialized memory and renders
;     garbage that flickers per frame.
;
; Sprite entry layout (per sprite, 8 bytes):
;   word 0:  Y position + 128  (bits 0-9 used; Y=128 = top of screen)
;   word 1:  size_H (bits 8-9) | size_W (bits 10-11) | link (bits 0-6)
;            sizes are 0..3, so width/height = (size+1) × 8 px
;   word 2:  priority (bit 15) | palette (bits 13-14) | vflip (bit 12)
;            | hflip (bit 11) | tile_id (bits 0-10)
;   word 3:  X position + 128  (bits 0-8; X=128 = left edge of screen)
;
; The sprite table base in VRAM is configured via VDP reg $05 (× $200 in
; H32 mode, × $400 in H40 mode). vdp_init.s above sets it to $F000.

SPRITE_TABLE_VRAM = $F000  ; per vdp_init.s register $05 = $78

; ---- Build a sprite in WRAM staging area (then DMA up) -----------------
;
; The pattern: maintain a soft-OAM buffer in WRAM at a known address (we
; use $FFE000 here, top of WRAM). Every frame at VBlank, DMA the soft-OAM
; up to VRAM at SPRITE_TABLE_VRAM. This avoids the VDP-during-active-
; display restrictions.

SOFT_SPRITE_TABLE = $FFE000  ; 640 bytes = 80 sprites max

; ---- write_sprite: stamp one sprite into soft-OAM ----------------------
;
; Inputs:
;   D0 = slot index (0-79)
;   D1 = X position (signed; -128..+447)
;   D2 = Y position (signed; -128..+239)
;   D3 = tile index (0-2047)
;   D4 = attr packed: (priority << 7) | (palette << 5) | (vflip << 4)
;        | (hflip << 3) | (size_w << 1) | size_h    ← caller responsible
;   D5 = link to next sprite (0 = end of list)
;
; Output: sprite slot D0 is populated.
