it looks like you're not calling the init() method so the code is set up correctly but none of it is ever called.
when you have a problem like that, it's good to break it down into little pieces; instead of debugging three methods, comment two out and focus on just one. if that doesn't work, take out vars, math etc and keep breaking it down until you find the problem, then add back on. working in this manner is a great way to develop, and doing so will cut down your frustration considerably.
