What would be the size of an 8x8 sprite in an axe program?

1 byte = 8 bits
1 bit = 1 pixel
Need 64 pixels

Therefore: Size = 64/8 = 8 bytes

64 pixels = 16 hex characters = 8 bytes = 64 bits = 64 pixels

Also, a grayscale sprite is composed of two sprites, so it would be 16 bytes. Just adding to the discussion in case somebody would want to know how big they are, since they are different size than in BASIC
