However, you don't shrink the bounding boxes like my routine does and only
seems to work with sprites of size 8x8 (or smaller) without clipping. My
routine works with clipping variables (it should anway or I'll have to add
more code), any size sprite of possibly different sized sprites being
tested (small sprite with a large sprite), and shrinks the bounding boxes
to make a more precise collision. It may be slower, but it's universal
along with the rest of my graphics routines in the library. If someone
needs speed and they are only going to use 8x8 sprites without clipping,
great! Otherwise, they can write their own routine (re-inventing the
wheel...but who said that experience is bad?) or port my routine.
