;;;
;; Implements the pool of bullets available when pressing B. The main code
;; should just want to call `init` for initializing the memory space, and then
;; `update` on each main game loop iteration. The following addresses are
;; reserved:
;; -> $40-$41: internal data.
;; -> $0208-$0213: OAM data (this is a pool of three sprites).
;;
;; NOTE: the code in here touch the addresses on OAM directly, instead of
;; keeping them in some internal addresses on zero page. This is usually not a
;; good idea, and more so if we were to do collision checking and stuff like
;; that. That being said, because of its simplicity, it's not that big of a
