Re: [stella] Angular movement

Okay, I took the first set of formulas and made a webpage to see how the 
tables would look.

The number right after the .byte is supposed to represent a byte between 
0-255.  You can adjust the speed until all numbers fall within that range.

But to me it doesn't look like this would work because it's not 
symmetrical.  No numbers repeat.

You'd at least expect 0 and 180 degree values on the Vy and 90 and 270 to 
be opposite on Vx.

What am I doing wrong?
