# Problem:
#   Making an NES game, want smooth motion but don't want to store sub-pixel precision.
# Solution:
#   Approximate smooth motion in discrete steps.
#
#   Investigate a few methods, and compare them by smoothness.
#   Use standard deviation as a measure of smoothness.
#   (Lower deviation total is better.)
#
# Result:
