Description: Loads tiles into VRAM.

Syntax:

LoadTiles <TileDataLocation>, <Count>, <VramLocation> [, <Offset>]

Part Description
<TileDataLocation> Required. The location of the tile data. This can either be a line label or a long variable. If using a long, you will need to load the line label address by using the LblPtr&() function.
<Count> Required. The number of tiles to load.
<VramLocation> Required. Location in VRAM to load the tiles.
<Offset> Optional. Offsets the <TileDataLocation> by the amount of tiles specified by the <offset>.

Example:

    Palettes pal,0,0,16
    LoadTiles MyTiles,1,1
    a& = LblPtr&(MyTiles)
    LoadTiles a&,1,2
 
    DrawTile 1,0,0
    DrawTile 2,0,1
 
    End
