All enemies + sqrxz itself acts like sprites and everything else acts
like background (although some parts are obstacles).

Check out the source to the 85 or the 86 version if you want more
detailed information.

Btw, the enemies shouldn't have AI really, because then it isn't Sqrxz
anymore. I wouldn't call 'walk forward until you hit something and
then turn around' for AI.
