There is a lot more in Terry's game that I can learn from - looking through the code, I found things are put together in a very elegant way. It was the same with his QBZERK64, another excellent game I wanted to turn into a multiplayer game, but is put together so tightly and with more advanced techniques than I am used to. There is a lot packed into those that I can learn from, but maybe it's better to start from scratch and as questions come up, I can learn techniques from these other programs bit by bit. 
Ultimately I'm aiming to write code that is easy to modify and use with other programs... I don't know if "loosely coupled" is the appropriate term, but I'll try to write stuff that's a little more general purpose than specific to the individual program. I have tried that in the past and taken it too far, to the point where I was writing a programming system, that ended up being more complicated instead of less. But anyway, we'll see how this goes once the rotation and collision stuff is done. After that I'll probably add a little editor that lets someone draw & edit the vector objects on the screen with the mouse or keyboard, and automatically save it as coordinates.
