Project mention: Since the subreddit is going down tomorrow, here's an update on inserting custom player graphics with the Universal Pokemon Randomizer ZX | /r/PokemonROMhacks | 2023-06-11It has been a while since last, but that's because of compression algorithms and memory allocation issues, which had to be taken care of before writing the front/back images in Gen I and II. Big thanks to FuSoYa, RGME, and the decomp team, who provided the tools and guides which made this possible.

Thanks to the amazing people at EmulatorJS and Libretro for making this all possible.
He wrote a game engine, it renders transparent items using the painter's algorithm, which requires the items to be sorted in Z. He has a routine that iterates over all items to render them, and bubble-sorts the items in-place while iterating over the items (all in the same thread). The "compare and swap" in this case is the innermost functionality of bubblesort.
I assume the author is https://github.com/aappleby but I don't see any obvious candidate for this code. Maybe this? https://github.com/aappleby/metroboy but I can't see why a gate-level emulator woudl need to render transparent items using painter's algorithm.
https://github.com/zladx/LADX-Disassembly Could start with a fork of this
