#edit better version, if you use ngc for collision then you've got a basic engine already.

@ Red Eye: He's using sprites, which may complicate things...turn object won't exactly work for that.

JoeFoo, I hope you have a minor understanding of basic trig functions if you want to do it that way. Someone might be nice and just "give you teh codez" though you wouldn't be learning much that way...
