In this example, spaceship's acceleration constant is set to ~100 out of (60-200) range, so it's slow enough.
As well the missile is set to have forward vector constant ~500 out of (300-800) range, so missile is also slow enough.
(Porting the code into PyGame, my screen capture software always slows down CodeSkulptor in browser)

The game does not run smoothly in this video, because my "screen capture software" always slows down the "CodeSkulptor game in browser" very much, makes it intermittent.
-- It's smooth when playing the game solely without the "screen capture software running".
In this example, spaceship's acceleration constant is set to ~100 out of (60-200) range, so it's slow enough.
