How can I improve this project? What features/bugs should added/fixed?

The main missing component is the TRASM sprites that come with spritetool, which should be xkas-ified and re-written to match the coding style of the sprites currently in the /sprites/ directory. The "internal" parts of the tool are pretty much good to go as far as I am aware.

I hope to write up a proper description at some point but the basic requirements right now are:

• use the standard shared subroutines instead of copying them (e.g. jsl !ssr_GetDrawInfo instead of calling a copy of GetDrawInfo). This saves tons of space, and the !ssr versions of a couple important routines are better anyway
• use !spr_tableName,x instead of raw addresses (this goes a long way toward SA-1 compat)
• use !WB|$xxxx instead of $xxxx for raw addresses in 0000-1fff (another SA-1 compat thing)
• use !DP|foo instead of foo when using word modes on the direct page. This will mainly be in things like sta !DP|!spr_posX,y when spawning a sprite. (yet another SA-1 compat thing)
• use jsl $xxxxxx!F instead of jsl $xxxxxx or jsl $8xxxxx when calling SMW subroutines. This is a FastROM thing as well as an SA-1 thing.
• a lot of the spritetool sprites could be convered to use !ssr_GenericGfx_bla. This is not critical but it is helpful in that it provides examples of how to use !ssr_GenericGfx, and I’m sure a lot of sprites are copy-pasted from the spritetool sprites
• lowercase opcodes and hex are preferred and if you send in a file with everything uppercase I will just make it lowercase to match everything else
