If this involves (and I'm pretty sure it does) functions, then
that's a no-no... I didn't have the time yet to fully understand
functions (I know, they're not THAT difficult), and once I
get comfortable with them and really grasp them, I guess
I could tackle a lot of stuff (concerning animations, objects,
repulsion etc)...
But until then, I'd like to stay focussed on what I'm already
capable of, and move further when I've got more time and
less stress...

Still, thanks for the suggestion, I'll keep it in mind.
