Examples

Define pawn's sprites

Simple color sprite (1 layer):

const Game_Sprite g_SpriteLayers[] =
{
	{ 0, 0, 0,  COLOR_WHITE, 0 }, // Sprite position offset: 0,0. Pattern offset: 0. Color: White. No special flag
};

Two color sprite (2 layer):

const Game_Sprite g_SpriteLayers[] =
{
	{ 0, 0, 0,  COLOR_WHITE, 0 }, // Sprite position offset: 0,0. Pattern offset: 0. Color: White. No special flag
	{ 0, -8, 4,  COLOR_GRAY, 0 }, // Sprite position offset: 0,-8. Pattern offset: 4. Color: Gray. No special flag
};

3 layers sprite with auto-switch (to generate more color by flickering)

// Pawn sprite layers
const Game_Sprite g_SpriteLayers[] =
{
	{ 0, 0, 0,  COLOR_BLACK, PAWN_SPRITE_EVEN }, // Sprite used only on 'even' frame number
	{ 0, 0, 12, COLOR_BLACK, PAWN_SPRITE_ODD }, // Sprite used only on 'odd' frame number
	{ 0, 0, 4,  COLOR_WHITE, 0 },
	{ 0, 0, 8,  COLOR_LIGHT_RED, 0 },
};
