    Neat. Unfortunatly, this will not run under 5.8.0, as $$ has been made read-only in that version (and maybe 5.7.0, as well -- I don't know).

Intent of the coder

    I almost didn't post this obfu. Then I realized that I was happy with it. Yes, it is simple. That is the point. I went for a particular aesthetic, with simple geometric shapes and uniform looking code. Overly obfuscated code would have taken away from this feeling of simplicity that I was trying to instill into the reader. It's definately a different sensation then code that is designed to make your head spin or confuse you.

    Did I succeed? Am I making sense? All comments welcome.
      You're perfectly clear. I, for one, enjoyed the effort.

    Simple indeed. Nice work on the shape though. :-)
