Hi. Remember the game Thrust which appeared on virtually every machine that
existed about ten years back? It had a "rotate & thrust" style ship which
had to pick up a ball, which then acted on it and *usually* flung your ship
into the nearest wall.

I can get the physics of the ball right and the physics of the ship right,
but I can't get them to work together in a realistic way.

Any ideas?
