but looking at his explanatory txt file, it's worth noticing that although his programme is less than 4k, it does make use of plenty of graphic software that's already on your computer and graphics card.

Check the site linked to the above - and given that you sound like you develop this stuff too, I think you're exactly who I want to see it.
