Hey guys, thanks for the help and insight. It appears
I will indeed be able to make the game flicker-less.
After fitting the tank graphic into one page and
making some kernel modifications to accomodate this, I
was able to remove the WSYNCS in the kernel as well
and get enough space for the missile-drawing algorithm
Manuel provided below. This should not only make the
game nicer, but also save some ROM space.
