SPRITEMOVEXY

Description

This BASIC sprite command will cause a sprite to move automatically on each DRAWSPRITES execution.

Two variables define the amount of pixels to move on each coordinate. Setting those to 0 (zero) will cause the sprite to stop moving.

The Background and Sprites will not show up until a DRAWSPRITES command is issued.
