I seem to run up against the limits of mathematical precision. :|

My god, they've gone plaid!

What's the precision issue you're running into, exactly? There's a couple common gotchas with PICO 8's fixed-point numbers.

I'm making the camera drift randomly. The numbers are pretty small -- when I change the angle by plus or minus 0.0001, and then damp that movement by multiplying with 0.99, it doesn't do what I expect it to do.

So that's why the camera movement only goes in one direction: the angles never become smaller.
