I'm sorry I cannot answer this question, because I do not know the answer.

A sprite is basically just a matrix that hold the on/off data of the pixels to be displayed on the
screen.  So here is an example of a the sprite of the letter "D" as displayed on the homescreen:

111100
100010
100010
100010
100010
100010
111100
000000

The 1 represents a black pixel (on), and the 0 represents a white pixel (off).
