more sprite wiki questions...
by Anes on 2006-05-10 (#12725)
im trying to implement what nesdevwiki says about sprites evaluation, im still a little confused by this doc, but if they take 341 cc to evaluate the sprites so when do the sprites are displayed? (i mean in wich clock cycles)

sorry the dumb question.

The sprites that are being evaluated during a scanline (via the sprite access information) are the sprites that will be displayed on the NEXT scanline. So while it's rendering the current scanline (and any sprites that were found during the previous line) it's finding the sprites for the next scanline.
