Thanks :)

mmmm... maybe I will understand all of that better once I have done more
of my degree.
As an aside, I seem to confuse some of the Lab tutors with some of the
code I write. We just just had an Assignment, it drew circles side by
side with a radius of 10 along the top of a square of 400. Of course the
code supplied did not take into account that if you tried to do more
than 20 circles they would end up outside the square.
I don't know if the markers will attempt to supply a number larger than
20 but I "fixed" the code so they could. If more than 20 then it starts
drawing the circles down the right hand side, then along the bottom. I
could have, but I didn't continue it so that it would then start doing
them up the left. I just put in an upper limit to something that ended
up on the bottom line.
I wrote the code in such a way that you could change the radius or
square size and it would still work. I am suitably chuffed with myself.
Man, I now understand the attraction of OSS *ALOT* better. What's the
use of writing something *really* clever if you can't show others just
how clever you are.
As with my PHP I have no doubt I will look back and go "Oh my god, that
is ugly!!!"
