You can add the CSS rule "filter: grayscale(100)" to the body if it helps. I have no idea how black and white monitors worked though, I would guess they'd have less than 8 bits of brightness info?
Depends on the monitor; I think ones existed with anywhere from 1-8 bits.

#87Thank you so much for making this! The sound effects take me back. I've been hoping to find something like this for my daughter to experience a fun paint program like I had.

Looks like a way to purposefully create a biased (center-weighted) random number generator out of multiple calls.
Mathematically is the sum of six Math.random() any different than (Math.random() * 6)?
