Well you can do transformations stuff:
Spacewar!
Each player has a Spaceship with an X,Y, and Z coordinate (X, Y, and
Z are integers rounded after each calculation). Each player's start
position is randomly chosen so that sqrt(X^2+Y^2+Z^2)=100.
Having a spaceship at (0,0,0) is a winning condition.
1. Each Spaceship also has a velocity.
2. Points are the fuel tank, starting empty. The player may choose
to apply it to + or - X,Y,or Z (6 distinct choices).
2. Position updated weekly based on velocity (means can accelerate
towards win).
3. If two Spaceships enter the same (X,Y,Z), the one moving fastest
stays put, the other goes back to a random start with velocity
intact.
[Robo-Rally option: bounce off each other].
4. Lasers!
