[edit] AMOS Sprite/Icon Bank format

A sprite bank and an icon bank share very similar attributes. They define graphic data which can be drawn onscreen. They have this format:

Field Length
Bank identifier: AmSp for sprites (bank 1) or AmIc for icons (bank 2) 4 bytes
Count of sprites/icons to follow 2 bytes
Sprites/Icons. Each sprite or icon has this format:
  • 2 bytes: width, in 16-bit words (multiply by 16 to get width in pixels)
  • 2 bytes: height, in raster lines (pixels)
  • 2 bytes: depth, in bitplanes (1 to 5)
  • 2 bytes: hot-spot X co-ordinate
  • 2 bytes: hot-spot Y co-ordinate
  • width * height * depth * 2 bytes: Amiga planar graphic data
Color palette: 32 16-bit colors in 0x0RGB form, the Amiga COLORx hardware register format 64 bytes
