Do I need to pass in an array of sprite pointers? Or can I make a call to SPR_update for each sprite I want to draw?

You need to pass an array of sprite, for instance : and you can call SPR_Update(..) only once per frame.
Your sprite array should contains the active sprites for the frame.
Your array can be 10 in size but you can only send the 2 first sprites to the VDP by using '2' as second argument (as in my example).

So I'm using a function to create the array of sprites. I pass in a list of strings, which go to a table to look up the sprites I want to draw, then add them to the array of sprites. The sprites are already initialized using SPR_initSprite().

This method is giving me an error saying that it is finding re-definitions of the Sprite Definitions, which I set with the SPR_initSprite(). Any ideas what could be going on? Should I not initialize the sprite until I need to draw it?

I'm not sure to understand what exactly happen, but you need an static array for SPR_Update(..), i think that may be the issue.

I was able to figure out the problem. I'm using rescomp to compile my sprites for usage in the program. So I have a gfx.res file to use with rescomp. Somehow, a gfx.s file was in the same folder. I didn't create that file...so I don't know how it ended up there.

Maybe something left over while it was compiling...

EDIT: I interrupted the build while it was compiling, which means the gfx.s wasn't cleaned by make. Lessons learned.

rescomp actually build the file but it should be cleaned automatically by 'make'. If for some reason a old .s file remains it can indeed bring troubles.
