The Lynx has no operating system and no desktop. It can only run one 
application and everything is up to the programmer.

I fail to see the difference between drawing a bitmap and drawing a 
sprite. All graphics should be drawn somewhere. I assume that even in 
CBM world you may draw the paddles and the ball. Something like 
draw_paddle(x, y) defines where to draw the graphics.

How is it in the CBM world? Do you draw a bitmap at all? If you have 
some code for drawing a bitmap you also choose to  start from a corner 
of the bitmap. Top left? Bottom left? That is your action point!
