In the original Asteroids (1979) - the player can press up on the joystick which accelerates the ship, and then rotate the ship, and then accelerate the ship in that new direction somewhat counteracting inertial forces due to the momentum of the acceleration in the original direction.

So in this short clip, after about a week of frustration trying to get my clone to operate in precisely the same fashion, I had a breakthrough - and with the help of Michel van Biezen 's video discussing in flight trajectory changes here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l53G_Y1kLc4 - I was able to apply the concepts and get my clone *almost* working.

It's glitching, clearly a logic error, so at least I got the math portion of the trajectory figured out!
