This suddenly got much easier.
I, at most, want a person to take a full second to rotate the ship a full 360 degrees. Since there are sixty heartbeats per second in this system (FPS maxes out at 60 for this project) I'll only need 60 "positions" out of the 360 that are actually there - at 0, 6, 12, etc.
Building the table will take less than a second at startup, even on slower computers. And it will help slower computers run it.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
