NESmaker screen numbers for use with programming

This is a pretty basic thing, but I found it very useful. I made a table of all the screens in NESmaker. Usually when you warp to a screen you use the X and Y value of that screen, but when you need to do this in code you usually have to give the exact screen number as an argument. This means that you need to count the screens from the top left corner. To make this a little easier I made this table so it's a little bit faster than counting the screens everytime.

This works great if you use the userScreenBytes to store the screen and map to warp to. To use the userScreenBytes make sure you do this tutorial by chronicleroflegends first:
Making userScreenByte0-7 work! (Plus Bonus!) | NESMakers

Here's an example from a custom warp script I use:

WarpToScreen userScreenByte6, userScreenByte2, #$01

Here's the table with cells if you want to copy it to Excel or some other spreadsheet.

Also you can use hex values... that helps a lot for warp to screen.
For example, if you want to warp the the screen y:6 x:2, than your need to use #$62 for your the warpToScreen.
And for warping to the screen y:11, x:15, it would be #$BF (11 is B in hex... 15 is F)
