I started (but didn't finish) a clone of Tailgunner in C some years
ago - there's a lot in the code that's usable which you can steal
for a demo program if you want to. Just delete the opengl stuff
and the code that rasterizes a vector. I was testing it on a
raster display with the intention of running it on a Vectrex, but
I kept hitting C compiler bugs.

Code's here if you want it:

 http://www.gtoal.com/athome/tailgunner/spacegame/newgame.c

The other code in that directory is another prototype of a vector
game written by a friend of mine some years ago. It was going
to be something like Elite in vector format eventually.

Both or either sets of code probably have a chance of running
on a z80. I think we both used small integer arithmetic everywhere
in the classic style.
