Implementation details and use of Plus hardware

• Mode 0 is used for background and panel
• Plus palette is used for the nice colours in the background
• Plus sprites are used for the plane sprite (on the map), the bubbles/balls and the man
• Plus screen split is used for the panel at the bottom (split is set to line 199, so that the split occurs on line 200)
• Plus pixel by pixel hardware scroll is not used.
• Some sprites are software sprites (weapons, bird)
• Z80 Interrupt mode 2 is used (IVR auto-clear is active. All interrupt vectors point to the same function).
