	An interesting thing you can do is to rewrite the thing using fixed 
point math with a precision more suited to the low resolution (i.e. I 
assume this was written using BASIC and its 5 byte floating point math - 
probably far more precision than was needed). Probably get an order of 
magnitude or better performance improvement. It would make a spectacular 
demonstration of how important the algorithm and its implementation is 
to graphics performance. Also, since this is a programming class, you 
might learn a few tricks the author did not know about.
