Hi there!

I just noticed an interesting use of flicker in 'Star 
Ship'.

In this case it is not used to multiplex any objects. 
Ok, flicker is used in Star Ship to multiply the ball 
for the starfield efect. But that's not what I mean. 

I mean the crosshair.

It's done with both missiles. But the two enemy sprites 
have different colors. Now, the flicker is used to give 
the crosshair a unique look!

The missiles are just swapped constantly, so the two 
colors *melt* into one.

Almost Chrono-Color[tm], eh? 

;-)

Greetings,
	Manuel
