The registers ENAM0, ENAM1 and ENABL turn display of their associated objects (Missile 0, Missile 1, Ball) on or off, depending on if you write 0 or 1 into bit 1 (value=2). When enabled, then the object is displayed every single scanline. When disabled, then not shown at all. So to have a missile travelling up the screen, for example, your code needs to turn the missile on/off at the appropriate scanlines. You'll have to keep a track of the scanline being displayed, compare with a missile vertical position, and then set/clear the appropriate enable bit (on/off). No easy way out, I'm afraid.
