Ok, I don’t know if anybody has done this, but I managed to create the flickering from the NES.

Why would you want flickering? ---

The scrolling one is a good asset, may I use it? ---

Sure, you can! I’m currently making some projects about the NES limitations that anyone could use as an extension. Also, I saw in the chatting area 🙂 ---

I did this because I don’t think anyone did this before. Plus, it will be good for NES style games with some fake limitations so will look like it is an actual NES game 🙂 (You can this by the way) ---

This looks cool!! One issue is that when you press B to make it night, the flickering is still blue. And the parallax is great too! ---

Thanks! I am starting to make NES style games, so I posted this in case anyone wants to make the NES limitations 🙂 ---

Oh yeah, forgot to mention the NES palette is from Super Mario Maker 2 (SMM2) and not the original version. I decided to choose this one since its brighter and has more variety. ---

UPDATE: I recently made a NES palette! This time, using only 32 colors (if you change it mid game) The palettes: 1st one: ![pixil-frame-0 (11)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/0/3/030b388883f4ab5fb138b11cf4e3bd84e9ad0231.png) 2nd one: ![pixil-frame-0 (16)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/7/e/7e663de831168a625063828e1724c02e7189af07.png) Also, you can have 16 colors using the pxt.json trick. Example: [https://arcade.makecode.com/S26912-67521-18231-61071](https://arcade.makecode.com/S26912-67521-18231-61071) One tip: since the 16th colour is transparent, you can use one of the shades of blue for the sky. ---
