@wigglytuffitout For the confetti, there was a single rectangular image asset that we just assigned a random color out of a set of 4. So even that wasn't so bad.
@wigglytuffitout I actually had an old project that had a confetti effect very similar, except with normal gravity. It was a few lines, mostly just describing the appearance of the confetti "particles".
@wigglytuffitout From what I recall of iOS animation APIs, it would be extremely easy to just create a bunch of colorful objects, give them random points to move to, and just set the gravity to a low value so they shoot up then slowly fall with some spin
@leftfield To be clear, I envisioned this working so that if you clicked on a link late in the book, it would send you back towards the earlier parts, too.
@melissasage Was going to joke about kaizo sex but that's just BDSM so

The replication crisis is a problem of capitalism. The need to earn grants and to publish "ground-breaking" research lest you lose your job means that no one really gets to focus on making sure all that older stuff gets published. You're better off trying to show some cool new fact than to replicate (or fail to replicate) something done 20 years ago.
@melissasage Is it possible to run a Pokemon game using base-890 pokemon digits instead of binary?
@avi Pokémon is just a base-890 number system
