Pattern tables

There are two pattern tables, one at $0000 and one at $1000. Each tile in the pattern table is 16 bytes, made of two planes. The first plane controls bit 0 of the color; the second plane controls bit 1. Any pixel whose color is 0 is background/transparent (represented by '.' in the following diagram):
