I'm not fatalistic, and second this advice wholeheartedly. Breaking the 
problem down into smaller parts and when you are sure each separate part 
works properly, THEN working on interlacing and glueing them together, will 
make the overall issue MUCH clearer to you. It's also easier to figure out 
what each part is doing this way, if you need to make subtle changes at a 
later date...

trust me on this. :o)
