gollark: Is that POSSIBLE?
gollark: It's not actually going to be *used* for anything outside of a hypothetical genetic-algorithms reactor optimizer.
gollark: Tin coolers probably not because I can't be bothered.
gollark: Moderators are on the todo list.
gollark: If you ignore fiddly stuff like actually being tested, having any UI, handling moderator blocks, handling cell efficiencies above 100% and tin coolers (evil things), my simulator might work.
