The flickering reuben is caused by the fact that you're using interrupts (and when you move him, you need to erase the sprite and redraw it, which is off-sync from the interrupt). The only way I know how to fix that is putting the reuben-drawing code in the interrupt, but maybe Runer has a different method.
In-progress: Graviter (...)

The drawing doesn't necessarily have to be in the interrupt. If the commands "erase reuben" and "draw reuben" are close enough, then he won't flicker anymore (or at least a lot less frequently).
I own: 83+ ; 84+SE ; 76.fr ; CX CAS ; Prizm ; 84+CSE
Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

I know exactly /why/ the flickering is been caused.
It is because reuben is 8*9 and thus i need to use 6 sprite commands to erase him before I can draw him - overdraw 8*8 with white, overdraw the next pixel row and hten of the new pixel row pt-get to know what to draw there again next time, all on two buffers.
If that would be quicker it wouldn't flicker anymore.
And I use hayleias way for nice greyscale ;)

One solution could be to just make Reuben Monochrome like in the original game and get it out of interrupts or simply have it grayscale but separate from the rest of the grayscale. It might flicker a tad more than the map, but it wouldn't be too intrusive.

Heck I made a grayscale Axe program before DispGraphr existed, after all :P

That is because you are an awesome coder compared to some others here (like me :P)

And with my current engine it wouldn't make a difference if reuben was monochrome, it would make a HUGE difference thought if he was only 8x8

I don't really know axe, but I can't imagine 6 sprite commands taking up that much time. If he was 8x8 would you need 3? If that's the case, I'd imagine monochrome would need 3 as well since it's only one layer. Maybe you could post the walking engine and see if someone can help speed it up to improve the flickering issue. :D

monochrome doesn't make a difference, the 6 sprite ones are only for erasing, for 8*8 i would need only 2 for erasing
so yeah, 8x8 4lvl greyscale would be awesome! (don't forget the walking animation :D )

And don't forget the 16x16 reuben

So you still get the flickering Reuben even with monochrome?

As for posting the code I still think as well that you should do it. It would suck if you put the project on hold just because you can't fix that issue but don't want help or something like that >.<

I can attempt an 8x8 sprite, but I doubt it will look nearly as good. >.< I havent forgotten about the battle sprites either. I should have sone time sunday or monday to work on things, but I won't have much free time the next few days.

It's good to hear it's fixed at least. Now you can work heavily on Reuben 1, 2 and 3 for the CSE and 84+ :P

Well, this was actually super easy and only ended up taking a few minutes. New sprites are on top. Congratulations Reuben, you're shrinking! I still like the taller original one better though. :P Also: Minor font changes: Uppercase "J" and "K" This really is the last change. Don't kill me Sorunome! D:
