I know my code is a little opaque. I initialize those huge arrays in my global class just to understand the scale of the applet sometimes, to compare how one variation relates to another in terms of memory use by keeping a tally on the number of created points, etc.... but usually I just comment those lines out. The applet generally won't export or run on a computer with less than a ton of memory if you leave them uncommented. I've uploaded the revised code... should work fine now. As soon as I have time to get back to this project and wrap it up, I'll try and get a version together with some coherent notes inside to explain those variables. Haha sorry about that.

I had a bit of a look into the code from the previous ("stalk") version of this, and was okay up to the rendering of the polyline part... some descriptions for the strange variables might help. Meanwhile, when running the "vines2" version, the PDE kept spitting the dummy on the allocation of the global variables. Is 100 million Points really necessary? :o) Hi Don,
