Hi sorry do you have the code for this I have been delaying to work on something like this but would love to use this as boilerplate.

Hello! Thank you for the vote of confidence! I deliberately left the client-side JavaScript un-obfuscated (AI showed me how to do it, but then I undid it for posting here). A colleague of mine started talking about selling it as a training tool, but ha I don’t know if that is in the cards. If you send me an email, we can talk about helping you get a head start!

Ah interesting, I have playtested on safari, chrome, and edge. I’ll have to look into what’s unique there. Thank you!

Up-to-date Firefox on Linux allowed me to complete certification of a shipment of Jet fuel, no trouble all the way through. Great concept and execution.

Hurray! Thank you for the update note. I was going to get after it tonight after I put the kids to bed otherwise.

On Win11 Firefox latest (148.0.2), I still cant see them :\

You owe me nothing! I just wanted to let you know!

Great little education game. Sulpher particles move really fast, might be worth slowing them down 20%. I was basically random clicking to get them.

Fair point, I have a rebound energy and terminal velocity set, still lower the top speed! Thanks for the feedback.
