    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)
