Your code works as long as you only new have one single object that can start at random positions.  

If you use more than one object (and/or VDELPx) then you will need a more general solution, because then you can't "waste" a whole register for every object. That's what .skipDraw and my latest "Zombie optimization" are made for.

I think the first BMI is avoidable. As long as X is negative (or < 0) the carry flag will also be set after the compare.

I hope my explanations make sense. :-)

Have?fun!
