"Physics". Not only did ZUN restrict the X velocity to the 5 discrete
states of -8, -4, 0, 4, and 8 (because hey, unaligned blitting is slow
anyway?), but gravity is also only applied every 5 frames.
We're still missing quite a bit of usage code, but these are the core
functions. One of which turned out to be undecompilable, due to… a
rigorously defined instruction order when performing arithmetic between
`double`s and `float`s?! Still, spelling out all this stuff in ASM
seems much better than somehow splitting the data segment, just so that
we can immediately use literals there.

… Wow, the orb is *actually* only ever displayed at byte-aligned X
coordinates, divisible by 8. It's only thanks to the constant spinning
that its movement appears at least *somewhat* smooth.
(And yeah, this is purely a rendering issue; internally, its position
*is* tracked at pixel precision.)
