Ok. I hope it does not get closed because I have this curiosity since 25 years and I would love to understand the trick.
In the commodore 64 the border was not addressable by the 6569 VIC. All you could do was to draw pixels in the central area, the one where the cursor moved. The border was always…

Should I:
Create ten sets of animations for the character with each weapon
Create animations for each weapon, and programmatically draw them on the character
