The 68000 processor manages objects (Sonic, Tails, Badniks, Rings, Springs) by allocating custom 64-byte structural blocks in RAM. The code defines critical variable offsets such as: obID : The hex identifier for what the object is. obX / obY : 32-bit absolute positions in the game world. obVelX / obVelY : Horizontal and vertical inertia vectors. obAnim : Current frame animation pointer sequences. 3.
