1.) An explaination of the patches:
*****************************************


This directory contains patches grouped into several documents by various categories, 
as seen above. The layout was designed to present all currently known sprite patches 
in an easy to browze and understand format.

The laout is as follows; under each major section will be a list of subsections, 
say, each individual sprite, or a certain part of the patches. Some patches, such 
as sprite movement patches will be by sprite and simply list the patch, while others
will be in an 'options list' 

Options lists are lists of each sprites patch, with the value that sprite uses, an 
example is the sprite-keen interaction section. Here a list of patches for all the 
sprites is shown, with each patch saying what sprite it is for, and what the value 
used does. This is a concise way of compressing a lot of patches. In this case, if 
we want to make the Yorp use the Icecube property, we simply use the Yorp patch but 
put the *Icecubes* value in it.

All patches here, unless otherwise stated use *the values normally found in the game*

Note also that iceCUBES and icecubETTES are different, Icecubed being the large 
frezey ones.

This is a list of all the sprites in the game and for whom patches will be found 
here; it is surprising how many sprites there are [Twenty seven!]
