absolutely, more code mean deeper understanding how to be more dangerous as a coder
i dont see any big difficult on the horizon, except the problem I discussed earlier in the list. I need to figure out how to make sure the mouse touches a line. This is necessary for 2 reasons a) when not in edit mode then the mouse by clicking on the line will be able to drag it around b) when in add points mode, clicking on the line will add more control points on the parts of the lines clicked. Another thing that troubles me is how to handle storing vector lines. I could make each line and even each segment into a separate morph. But I am not so sure if that is an overkill. I see also that Roassal stores them as shapes and allows you to add them with the + method. I like that. I am also thinking making my own morph class which will be a lot more lightweight and Athens friendly. Another alternative is to use a database to store all vector information. But overall I think most of functionality I want to cover is already provided by Athens, its just a matter of coding it.
