Ok So I listened to what you said and Im thinking.

maybe something like this

	
//defines

GsOT// Define your ordertables
GsOTTAG//Tag your odertables

PACKET// Do packet for ot stufff
GsSPRITE //pointer to sprite
GsinitGraph//Screen initialiize stuff
GsdefDispbuff// Setup double buffer stuff for page flipping
//For loop for WOT  
Activebuff =GsGetActiveBuff()//bouble buffer setup
GsSetWorkBase//Have no idea except it asigns buffer to packet?  
GsClearOt//init ot packet

Do main loop animation stuff right here with frames and all


DrawSync(0)// wait for the entire drawing   to be done
Vsync(0)//Wait for the vblank interupt which tells the sys it is done
//with drawing the pic on screen
GsSwapDispBuff()// Switch the buffers
GsSortClear()//Have no idea
GsDrawOT()//Draw everything that has just been done in the ot

Then do the sprite init.

end

This is probably completely wrong but I init the sprite.
