Twinkling Stars

This code allows for the illusion of twinkling stars.
You can make a number of stars with various numbers of /i's after #char 32, with at least 3 lines different from each other, to better simulate an entire field of twinkling stars.
The 'animation' can be slowed down by setting the #cycle to 2 or 3, or by adding additional /i lines between the different #char commands.
#cycle 1 :twinkle /i /i #char 250 /i #char 43 /i #char 88 /i #char 197 /i #char 88 /i #char 43 /i #char 250 /i #char 32 /i /i /i #twinkle
Caution: Overuse of objects with the #cycle 1 command can cause ZZT to experience slowdown, even if the game is emulated on a fast computer.
