+    The macros below handle drawing the randomly-placed spots on Spinda's front sprite.
     Spinda has 4 spots, each with an entry in gSpindaSpotGraphics. Each entry contains
     a base x and y coordinate for the spot and a 16x16 binary image. Each bit in the image
     determines whether that pixel should be considered part of the spot.

     coordinate is calculated as (baseCoord + (given 4 bits of personality) - 8). In effect this
     means each spot can start at any position -8 to +7 off of its base coordinates (256 possibilities).

     (destPixels) is an 8 bit pointer, so it addresses two pixels. Shifting by 4 accesses the 2nd
     of these pixels, so this is done every other time.
