Aha! Well that's nice. Almost like virtual memory.

Been there, did that. I implemented the Fuchs-Kedem-Naylor hidden surface removal algorithm(*) on a Z-80-based CP/M system. Displaying an image took a couple of overlay swaps, which required swapping 8" floppies.
(*) The same algorithm used in DOOM!

Back in the late 1980's I worked on an embedded project using a Z-80. The last six months of the work I spent refactoring code and adjusting buffers in the last 256 bytes of RAM available.

You forgot the ".com" in your signature: "https://honeythecodewitch.com/gfx/"

I noticed right after I made it but CP wouldn't let my attempted edit stick at the time.
I just tried updating it again. This is a test.

many years ago a co-worker recounted his days as a game developer on i do not recall either an Atari 400 or Commode Door oops i mean Commodore 64 my own machine at the time . he was explaining his firm was the only to know how to draw a sprite across the raster line . i no longer recall what that means though i do recall his explanation which i will not reveal here unless requested though i would be surprised if the solution is not obvious to the many skillful here . upon end of story i made one of my few jokes which was well received especially by myself i.e. "When you can draw a sprite across the raster line you will have learned Grasshopper ."

Sounds a lot like racing the beam. Just because you did not have to do that for everything anymore did not mean you could not use it to wring a few unusual effects out of your graphics hardware. Even then such things already were becoming arcane and secret knowlege.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

On C64, as long as you kept sprites vertically separated, you could have 8 sprites on the first “stripe”, interrupt! Switch sprite bank, repeat.
You would only be able to detect collisions within the “stripes”.
My favorite trick was to point a sprite to page/address 0000.
It gave a nice monitor where you could see the pixels of the system time on the screen.

You had 4 yellows on your 3rd attempt and then you reverted to 2 yellows - I think your strategy is flawed

Just trying out new letters.
Figured I might get it if I either found a new letter or ruled out three.
Plus I was trying to get at least one letter in its correct spot.
