Thinking back on all this I better understand the pain I feel to see science under devastating attack here. It’s not just about my livelihood or my university. It’s about my identity. And it’s about a pursuit that I see as standing along with art, literature, and music as among our highest callings.

I’ve had to resort to transcoding them to video, unfortunately.

Thank you for the kind words! I've occasionally thought about making a console version. I think I'd have to remove a lot of song mode features, and I'm not sure what I'd do about saving and loading, since those both need the clipboard... But it could still happen someday!

That’s exactly what I do when I post them! Happy to hear I’m not alone

Right? Most of the earlier drafts were gravity, which was also fun but much less cute.
