This project is an experiment in programming an animated set of "tron lines". These are inspired by the movie Tron, in which motorcycles zip through cyberspace in an arena, trailing lines behind them into which can crash (and then die).
The lines in this project choose their next direction at random, but will not crash into each-other's lines (which have a lifetime so they reach a maximum length).
