Almost, see below.

Yup! And you can also position both missiles and the ball with that.

a contains x-position (0..159)
x contains object index (0..4)
And there is an important *post*condition. After all objects have been
*coarse* positioned you have to do this once:
sta WSYNC
sta HMOVE

A few, not too nested subroutines aren't that bad.
And if you store all x-positions in consecutive RAM locations, you can
make this a loop (without any JSR) too.
Have fun!
