From crazy Jeff's own comments, and his own mouth:
> I was writing an Asteroids clone in Flash a few years back, I wrote my own insanely complicated functions for calculating directional velocity instead of using SIN and COS
fantastic, LOL! This supports Steve's position -- it illustrates that you'd need enough math background to at least know in what general direction you should be looking. And save yourself some coding time and pain to boot.
