That's the problem. If you move at certain speeds you will get a comb
effect because of the interlace. If you update the animation only 30
frames a second rather than 60 you'll be able to eliminate this since each
frame the object will be stationary and thus completely draw itself across
both fields, but perhaps at the cost of somewhat jerkier animation should
the object need to move quickly.
I can see a potential for interlace in a game that requires very precise
and subtle movements, like a Lunar Lander sort of game or a game where the
you have to "thread the needle" just right.

All,
Here is the beginning of a game that features interlacing. The spaceship
can move in all directions. You can see the smooth moving up and down on
each interlaced scan line, though right now, the graphic gets "torn"
because of the way I am drawing it.
I am planning on some sort of tunnel game with enemies, I think. Hard to
say if it will end up being a little demo game, or a full-blown game. No
title yet.
I will post source after I am a little further along.
