WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Click - Add new point.
Scroll - Increase/Decrease distances.
Ctrl - Delete oldest point
Shift - Delete newest point.

It took me a while, but I studied up on "Node Code" and came out pretty good. I'm trying to find a way to turn it into a game, but I don't want to get distracted. Doing this in C++ for performance increase is a possibility.
