[Yr7-10it] RE: flash game

[Costello, Rob R]

Seeing as I'm doing Cartesian graphs in year 8 maths, and programming at
year 9,  I have decompiled lineRider and added a routine that draws a
dynamic graph into the bottom left hand corner

writes the equation of the current segment of line and plots it on a
small set of axes  - updates as he travels (or falls into space) 

will upload once I finish an assignment and get a bit of space 

(I changed the cartoony rider to a photo of Britney, but too cheesy to
upload that version)
