First steps in recreating Doodlebuzz in Openframeworks

Over the next few weeks I'm going to be attempting to recreate www.doodlebuzz.com in Openframeworks. I'm doing this, one as it's a bit of a personal challenge, and two because I'm creating a kiosk version for the Talk to Me show at MoMA which opens in July. At first I thought about simply making an AIR app version, as Doodlebuzz already exists in Flash, but I want to see what I can do in OF and see what new creative avenues it might take me down.

First off, starting from the simple vector drawing demo, I've just drawn a line with some text. Big wow. Next I need to rotate that text along the line.
