Living Room / Re: What is the logic of bezier curves? (for Illustrator pen tool)

This might seem like a minor thing, but it isnt :-) it means you can fine-tune and correct your line while drawing it.
If you draw a lot, this is a huge timesaver.
I miss that in the game above. And, I dont know have they changed it since, but up till Illustrator CS4 anyways, you *cannot* do this -
you have to draw your line, and then go back and select and drag each point that needs to be adjusted.
One could argue, with reason, that the illustrator method encourages more accuracy in the first place, but to me, ease of use wins here.

** how that works:
- make your point
- if desired, drag to form curves
- keeping the mouse button pressed, press the Control key and drag - the point moves
I was just curious.)
