Of course the angel can always avoid being trapped... it is sort of like
that game where you chase each other around a computer screen trying to
cut each other off... (see also, Tron motorcycle races (?))... perhaps a
(an) intuitive stategy would be to just continue moving away from the center
of mass (nonmass) of the destroyed planets... what can a devil possibly do?
As long as the angel has a range of 100 and the devil can only destroy one
planet per day... Yes, it does seem to get more interesting if you change
the rules... angel gets a range of R, and devil can destroy N planets per
day... (less than N=8, with R=1, right?)...

	Ah, this side of Paradise...
