> Question: Can entrants ask for "+KC" (turn on cyclical animation) in the .ini file?

The main problem I have with it relates to how many other ini flags I might be
asked to support if I add this one (even though it might seem like a perfectly
sensible one for an animation competition).

How expensive is it to create a periodic clock yourself, I haven't thought too
much about this ...
   (1-cos(clock*2*pi))/2
gives a periodic clock albeit nonlinear.

I'm inclined not to allow custom ini files (sorry), remember you have 512 bytes,
twice what previous competitions were allowed. What luxury. :-)
