Ah. Okay, I assumed you were still using the sprite engine from the last
demo you posted. Hmmm, 16-bit sprites... very cool. But won't that make the
flicker even worse?
Why the mirrored sprites? If there's no way to specify mirroring on a
per-sprite basis, you could manually mirror all the sprite data. It's not
like there will be a huge amount of graphic data anyway.
Something else to maybe add to each sprite definition would be a vertical
offset value so objects don't appear to drop as they move closer.
