Subject: Re: Inv. arrow effects in top part of ro
" "I'm trying to get a moving platform type thing
in one of the rows in the top quarter of the
screen.
"Is it possible to do this using invalid arrows?
Since the effects of inv arrows manifest themselves
benath the actual arrow it's proving tricky."
"
let's just say if you manage it, it will be a first!
i've never seen it done and wouldn't think it's
possible, but then who knows?
it seems to me there
are only two types of invalid arrows, the ones i
exploited a lot in strangel, and the other type which seem
to write pixels into some of the block patterns
onscreen.
i don't know if having new coloured arrows will
affect the invalid effects - it's a plausible prospect
... and i don't know what happens if you have a
floor-creating arrow near the bottom of the screen - maybe it
would create a platform in the next room or
something?
