Subject: Flashing Willy (oo-err! ;-> )

 

Hey clever hacking-type knowledgable people,
when you change the colour of Willy, can you make him 'colour-cycling' like the guardians on jsw128,

In Geoff Mode, this could be
achieved using the patch vector. I've seen colour-cycling
guardians, and coloured Willy, so you could try merging the
two patch vectors to produce a colour-cycling
Willy.

or 'flashing' (2 colours like the room

blocks)?

Set the background colour attribute to FLASH 1
(there's a room near the start of The Time Hole like this
- black ink on black paper gives the illusion that
only Willy and the items are flashing, since they
inherit the background colour attribute but override the
ink colour).
