I was refering to the original original space wars (If I remember what I
read, I think the shots would also go "through" the sun)

In the Cinematronics version of Space Wars the bullets ARE effected by
gravity! It's part of the fun. (For some real fun, try to get a
bullet in orbit around the sun.)

No, what you should do is get your code fast enough to allow another
control panel to be hooked up and two more players to enter the game.

If I had the time, I would have written a 4 player Space War many eons
ago!!
