HN comment orderCongratulations to that very nice and useful game! I loved to play around with the first 2 levels. It's a pity that the project's state is totally unclear (at least to me, a casual visitor). Is it meant to become a community project? Is it a demo of something that will be sold in the future?

Only your accumulated experience, curiosity and willingness to learn will.
