Three notes
- 01
What it is made of
Arithmetic and a 2D canvas. No sprite, no model, no image file anywhere: every stroke is drawn from the stylesheet's four inks.
- 02
What it costs the page
About seven hundred bytes until you press: a shim waiting for the button. The game itself arrives on the press and never before.
- 03
How it was built
Planned before it was written, measured rather than argued about, and every animation proved by a picture.

If this is the sort of thing you would rather be doing than what you are doing, say so. I would rather hear from someone who read the source than someone who read the pitch.
