Yes, but the c64 can't actually use that, for the most part, if you're also using a sprite multiplexer, which eliminates its use from almost every game since there is only eight hardware sprites and no hardware multiplexer like on the nes and friends, since the engineers assumed you could just do that in software (it's documented as such in the PRG, for example).

So most c64 games also suffer hitboxes.

This is not true. I actually worked for a couple of years in an Australian government department with a coleague who had a mononym name (i.e. only one name). Passport and everything. Caused no end of problems with some of the databases, though I believe she enjoyed that aspect...

I'm an inhuman monster who things we should sterilize everyone at 12. If they want kids some time later, have them pass a simple parenting test, and the process is reversed.

Deal! You rush off and solve that little "And the process is reversed" impossibility, and then we will open discussions on the rest of your plan.
