Heres a more interesting version.

I'll try putting it here, seeing as it's still being messed up in the source module window.

If that wasn't enough to cause you to visit the bathroom, get a load of this one.

Here's one I made some time ago. You can specify the number of points, number of lines, line spacing, etc.

I was thinking (very briefly) that this may have been a good coding challenge. Then I thought against it as it's 2D and the maths may have slowed things down.

I've modified it for the Convention so it can play any one of 7 MOD tunes I've got, and scrolling text along the bottom.
