Depends. Gunfight would only have to waste that one byte in the RAM,
but that is unacceptable to me.

Instead of wasting a byte _per_ shape, you'd only lose two
bytes _once_ in each skipdraw.

You don't waste a cycle at all, since the skipdraw branch
is way faster than the drawing branch. In fact you'll
probably even have to add NOPs or .Ws in there, to match the
running times of both branches.

Thomas already did that long ago...
Oh... I wish people would start browsing the archive instead of
reinventing the wheel every half a year :-)
