Subject: arrows

 

i just spotted this on the ultimate jsw
fanpage:

Vertical position of the middle of an arrow (not its top!)
is given in pixel positions from the top of the
screen, but the top or bottom of the arrow should not
fall outside the character position containing the
body of the arrow. Put more simply, that value should
not be exactly divisible by eight, nor must it be one
less than a number which is exactly divisible by
eight.

i think this may have something to do
with how you get those freaky arrows that erase parts
of the screen and stuff. hmmmmm :)
