I love it. No need to appologise for bright and simple shapes, there
are more than enough drab brown space-marines in drab grey corridors
strolling from preset point to preset point already.

That works well. The less something like this makes us think of very
serious people doing amazingly hard things according to arcane
procedures while sitting on standardised chairs the better.

It's great. I only played with it for a brief time because I have to
write some Fluxus before my deadline. It works well and quite
smoothly. I did find myself longing for a sin and cos and when those
didn't work for a list of available stuff.
Are functions like a sine expected to be too complicated for the
intended audience (I certainly didn't enjoy classes on those, back
then!)? Maybe it'd make sense to have the indicator that some term is
unknown also offer a list of what is known?
Yours,
Kas.
