I suspect @kroc would love to read the article you shared.

He has a fantastic project called #Elite harmless. He has been slowly optimizing the hell out of the #c64 version of the game.

@profoundlynerdy @markmoxon Oh he knows! :D Mark has a far better understanding of the game though; I don't have the requisite math skills
