I think, my routine isn't very usable for that kind of games. The other tricks work a lot better there.
The positioning isn't easy, because with RESPx the sprites get positioned in intervalls of 3 pixel, the playfield resolution is 4 pixel AND there have to be three *exact* timed writes (2xCOLUBK and the scecond write to PF2, when using reflected playfield). All this makes free positioning at least very complex if not totally impossible, I haven't tried this yet.
The only advantage of Trick12 is, that you can use two colors which are different from the background for the sprites. If you make one of the colors like the background color, the advantage is gone.
So this trick seems to be only useful for veeery special situations :(
Like mine :)
Have fun!
