APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING IMAGES THAT INCLUDE DYNAMICALLY INTERACTIVE SPRITES

摘要

An apparatus (40) for producing multicolor images including multiple sprites, the apparatus including a pen palette device (52) for producing color information for each pixel of a sprite wherein each unit of color information corresponds to a pen number; a first storage circuit (44) for storing pen index information for each pixel of a sprite; a second storage circuit (44) fo storing indexing information relating the pen index information stored in the first storage circuit to at least one of the pen numbers; and an indexing circuit (46) responsive to the information in the first and second storage circuits for identifying a pen number for each pixel of the sprite.
