Summary

This program was originally created to test a few things from the programming platform, and has been adapted to reuse some JavaScript components in the process. Because of this, it includes a few features that may not be very beginner-friendly.

Still, I hope you have fun looking at the code, and by taking your time with it, I’m sure you could find interesting ways to tweak it :).
