SS >>Can you make a larger pointer? or are you limited to # of pixels for
pointer image?<<
The Amiga's pointer is a sprite, and the sprites on OCS/ECS Amigas are
limited to 16-bits in width. The AGA chip set Amigas have 64-bit wide
sprites, allowing for wider sprites.
While there is a limit on the width, I believe the height of sprites can
be as least as tall as the screen, or taller.
