Hm, with the limited resolution of the playfield, I think that would look even worse than the rotated tanks in Combat.

I don't think my kernel is suitable, because it can only display one hole in the playfield per line. That's not very suitable for a plattform game. But the scrolling algorithm idea should be adaptable to a lot of other games.

With (intelligent or not) flicker, the number of enemies is only unlimited by the RAM to store their positions, the available CPU time outside the kernel *and* the tolerance level of the huming beeing having to play the game. ;-)
Inteligent flicker algorithms only help not to stress this tolerance to much.
Have fun!
