This is best demonstrated visually so, let's try to implement the following sprite via **DATA** statements:  *Fig. 15 – A sprite* The transparency (the large magenta-coloured area) is set to index **227** (as we've seen in *Chapter 15), the Global Transparency Colour* – which for the purposes of our example has been left the default. The rest displays a little spaceship in brown and grey while the cockpit is demonstrated in blue and white. Let's start with the **DATA** statements. Some line numbers are omitted as we'll be adding them in the course of our animation example ``` 10 ; Sprite: Romylos Dokos © 2019 30 RESTORE 40 BANK NEW a 50 FOR F=0 TO 255 60 READ n: BANK a POKE f,n 70 NEXT f 80 SAVE "spaceship.spr" BANK a,0,256 210 REM Sprite Pattern 0 220 DATA 68, 68, 68, 68, 227, 227, 227, 227, 227, 227, 227, 227, 68, 68, 68, 68 230 DATA 68, 182, 219, 68, 227, 227, 227, 68, 68, 227, 227, 227, 68, 219, 182, 68 240 DATA 68, 68, 68, 68, 227, 227, 227, 55, 55, 227, 227, 227, 68, 68, 68, 68 250 DATA 182, 182, 68, 227, 227, 227, 227, 55, 55, 227, 227, 227, 227, 68, 182, 182 260 DATA 68, 68, 68, 227, 227, 227, 68, 68, 68, 68, 227, 227, 227, 68, 68, 68 270 DATA 240, 68, 68, 227, 227, 227, 68, 255, 127, 68, 227, 227, 227, 68, 68, 240 280 DATA 227, 68, 68, 0, 227, 227, 68, 127, 127, 68, 227, 227, 0, 68, 68, 227 290 DATA 227, 182, 219, 72, 0, 227, 182, 0, 68, 68, 227, 0, 72, 219, 182, 227 ```
