Some more information then:
At first: why gfx eats a lot of memory - 2 screen high table requires a lot of memory for cheating a fast scroll (I won't explain here),
second time: there is no possibility for real-time ball movement calculations, I have to setup a large look-up table to solve this.
Other functions are really easy to implement.

Thanks... I am afraid, I have some other projects running right now.
(Well, not for Plusi, that is true.)
