Doh! Should've got that one. The problem's a lot more complex than using
conservation of momentum, but it's sparked an idea... From using momentum
you've got to apply all sorts of stuff like Newtonian Physics, restitution
and that.
I'll finish off my conversion of my version of Spacewar first, then I'll get
to work.
Getting a little off topic, now so here's another little problem:
Is there an easy way of patching the keyboard to register a number of
different keys (say 6) being pressed at the same time? Of course there is,
but how is it done?
