So you actually drew a triangle, didn't even know you could do that and as I can't draw - I never would lol.

Neat.

Amazon econo do the same stuff for £23 :-)
When I first started to code in 1974, the primitive compilers that I used then required you to put modules first so that the compiler would see them before seeing any reference to them. As compilers got more sophisticated and did multiple passes, you could put modules anywhere. That was a big improvement. Programmers were no longer limited by the limitations of the compiler. It never made sense to me to put modules first. I always wanted to see the code in execution order, i.e., the first code you see in the source code should be first code to be executed by the computer. I was happy that putting subroutines after the main routine was the standard at the software company where I worked for most of my career.
