Oh no, I was not talking about the RoA engine here!!! No way, it's
magnificent!!!
I was rather talking about the LW engine, which was pretty much the same
except for the animations (which can, by the way, be improved. You see, when
I go to the next screen without the 'blink', I can see a black 'flash' at
the location of the animation before it starts. I don't know if it's still
like that in RoA. I didn't notice it yet).

Of course.
