is there a way to make your playfeild use the who screen
instead of doubling it or reflecting it?

Countless games do that. They just have to rewrite the playfield register in the middle of each scanline.


You can also rewrite the playfield color register for multiple colors per scanline. How many times you can get away with this, I don't know. Anyone have a list of games which do a lot of this? It's hard to tell the difference between this and multiple blocky sprites.
