@CodeMonkeyCharlie After watching the next lecture I realized I misunderstood the puzzle. I was supposed to draw points, not lines (though I think the lines are still cool--almost seems to create a tetrahedron). The result using points looks very cool. You'd never guess it after looking at my line drawing version.

Had a little fun with the triangle puzzle he talks about around 29 minutes in. Here's the source if you'd like to play with it: ww.cilution.net/Triangle.txt

Change extension to .java and it should compile/run just fine (yeah yeah it's a C course, I know)

Might not be correct. Doesn't quite look right if you watch it starting from 0 lines. Integer math when calculating mid points might be problematic, or maybe there are other issues. Was a fun detour regardless!

So "structs" are the prototypes of what would become known as "classes" in modern object-oriented languages?

lol yah no problem
