I have devised a method for a battle startup program. Let me describe it:
The character freezes in place, the battle music starts to play and the board is sucked toward a center point (shrounk) while leaving skew marks. As this happens you hear a suction sound and suddenly a blast of light and you're fighting! I am still working out a few bugs but I will release the source soon. Someone may have figured it out already. Any questions?
