I did plan on keeping the PF pretty simple at first. The fanciest thing
I'll do for a while is mess with D0 of CTRLPF in the middle of the screen.

Actually the logic I have in mind is going to make the dots a ton tougher
imo. Esp if I want the game to be challenging. Also thinking about
having some pieces of the PF that change after you grab the different
"prizes". Prizes won't be too tough if I just keep track of the P0's x-
and y-coords. The "AI" for the killer dots will. Any ideas? I will be
using missiles and the ball for those, btw.
And Piero... thanks for looking!
