For those of us who don't know what thr code is, could you enlighten us? Is this basically a very fancy version of the turtle program in the 80s, where you could say "turn right 90°, forward 2, etc..."?

Yeah actually you basically got it. So THR is THeta (circle) and Rho (straight lines). So I tell the table to spin, then go forward/backward or curve to a certain degree. I'm not the best at code, so I find it a lot easier to draw in illustrator and make the file a SVG. Everything needs to be one continuous line, otherwise the ball gets lost in the sauce
