Yes, in Blitz (2D/3D/+) Null is actually not a constant ^^
Probably having to do something with its internal handling of the type lists, which was made controllable in BlitzMax.
In this case I usually just pass Null as a parameter.
Or you could use Obje*snip*

Image rotation?

if you optimize the code way more,
it should be smooth and superfast in blitz2d even :)
i still have some of blitzcoder's code laying around
from optimization/math wizards ^^
which does exactly that!

I'm so amazed
at our resonance in this 'project'!
It is like chemistry :)
There's some kind of vibration

Btw, if you use Floats (I see the Ceil() function in your 'code'), a division by zero will result in "Infinity" ^^
Converted to Int it becomes -2147483648.

The solution I like to use
for calling InterceptAngle less
is by using a simple timer
with an interval like 500ms.
I think I've used the same technique
in a previous program up there,
or perhaps in the game itself.
With that technique

Well, I am curious why you are converting from object to handle and back again,
when you can simply use a direct reference to the object instead,
as I see you're not using Object/Handle for abstraction (yet?).
I mean, it looks really cool and daunting :*snip*
