AI on the atari can be a challenge...for JoustPong I knew I had
a pretty good, simple algorithm for a challenging but not perfect
opponent. And then I added an "easy" mode and purposefully dumbed
the guy down...actually I handicapped the computer player by not
letting it flap as often as it "wanted" to.
Again, depending on ROM-size limitations, you might want to consider
an "easy" mode.
