Hi,
you would need to assign something to the name "start", e.g.
start = 3
the next error would probably be undefined "point", which should get
subtracted from "start" according to the code ...

However, in your case, this is likely another typo in the code,
you probably want "start_point", which is defined in the script already.

hth,
