I agree, we should try to add all the content at once. We should only
load each part - tutorial, exercise, kstart - when requested. We may
need to save state once we are in the exercise, but we don't need to
save state when moving from the exercise to the tutorial.

There is a distance2 function that makes sure the objects in "adding_up"
don't overlap too much. That function can easily cause an infinite loop.
That is probably the most likely culprit

I think kstart, tutorial(ktutorial?), and exercise should be separate
html pages.
