seconds before the arrow appeares on the screen.
Interesting idea, not only because it is harmless or invisible (in fact
you can make it black simply if you have black air) - I suppose that
the main problem is that an arrow likes to collide with something we
don't want them to, like any other sprites, for example.
... pity, all these doesn't work and even black empty arrows kill both
Willy and everything with Willy's ink in the room... (as I found out
from playtesting this feature)
