Crap I pretty sure I was wrong. I thought someone told me this before or
something that is why I said it :) I have no idea.
Sorry

This is probably because you are defining the sprite, "ball" as an Int.
Int's are 16 bits long not 8, thus leaving 8 blank pixels to the left of it.
Change it to a char instead like the fallowing.

static unsigned char ball [] = {0x3c, 0x7e, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff,
0xff, 0x7e, 0x3c};

BTW: What program did you use to convert your sprite into C code?
I hope this helps.

I wrote the program below just to see if I could get a ball to bounce
around the screen. Everything works except for when the ball hits the
left side of the screen: it looks like it hits 8 pixels too soon. Can
someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I think it has something
to do with the way Sprite16 processes the sprite, but I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance,
