Code completion.

Some major changes have been made to the source code. I have gotten it down to one class. I have fixed the two-dimensionality which happens when the form is rotated. It has even been compacted down to about 85 lines (I would like to shave off at least 5 more).

There may be one more update with some stylistic changes, variable names, font choice, colors, etc. But functionally it will be the same.

Here is the newest rendition.
