Did you get a chance to check out the code, by the way? ~60 lines :)

Keith Dawson (kdawson@tldr.nettime.org)'s status on Sunday, 24-Mar-2024 08:45:17 JST Keith Dawson @aral I'm almost competent to read that code. Not quite maybe. I sometimes see the canvas clear to white in a single move. Is there a timer somewhere in there I missed?

Aral Balkan (aral@mastodon.ar.al)'s status on Sunday, 24-Mar-2024 16:40:25 JST Aral Balkan @ErikUden @kdawson Hah :) Not an exploit, per se. Just console scripting.
(If you iterate through all the button rows/columns and call click() on them, you’ll invert the canvas. Someone implemented that within the first few minutes of my releasing it. Folks be clever.) :)

Realised I’m so caught up developing Kitten (and Domain and soon Place) that I wasn’t making time to have fun with it :)
