Re: [stella] P2C+Cartesian to Polar = ASSAULT

Wow!  This has a lot of potential if you can smoothen out the movement some 
more.

All I can think of is the coin-op game ASSAULT.  That one was really 
impressive in its day due to the full-screen hardware rotation (and scaling).

If you can somehow generate a playfield grid using missiles and add in some 
intelligent flicker, you could probably do an ASSAULT like game on the 2600!

Of course, you also have to tackle the rotation of the other player, which 
is going to be really tricky with only 8 bits to work with.  But if all the 
objects are quickly-rotating round saucer types, then you can get away with 
not having to do the rotation calculation.
