I've been playing with the playfield (appropriately enough) and would like  
to go to the next level, as it were: I want a view that scrolls around a  
larger playfield than is seen at anyone time. While I think I could do  
this with the 3D graphics, I'd prefer to keep things 2D for now. (I guess  
I could sorta do that with a top-down view on a 3D field, too, but I'm  
really trying to avoid having to get into the 3D stuff for now.)

Thoughts?
