Please do not just dump all your code here.
If you are facing any specific problem just point that part out.

[JosAH]

@OP: that code of yours is never going to work as it is now; there are so many
mistakes, lack of design etc. etc. in it. I suggest you start over again and dump
this piece of code where it belongs: in the trash bin.

I'm sorry for saying so but if you start all over chances are that you successfully
finish your project. If you keep on hacking at random with this code you'll never
finish this project no matter what you had in mind for it.

Good luck with it and

kind regards,

Jos
