I believe scores should be set by hit points instead of kills; it isn't really fair if you chase someone down to four hearts, and he kills himself, or bumps into someone else's bullet at the very end. If you hurt someone, you should at least get a little credit for it. In any case, the traditional system of kills works better, but this could be a viable option of gameplay that could be checked and unchecked by the user.



The flashing mechanism is the better one to go with. Lower-end connection users would get massacred if all shots were allowed at all times. Flashing allows for tactical operations to be used with enough time.
