gollark: Also, is this sending the entire screen pixel-by-pixel on update?
gollark: Is the v2.3 code this presumably uses as a backend available on a branch somewhere?
gollark: <@205756960249741312> Mind publishing the code or whatever for this? This would probably be substantially easier than trying to make my current canvas rendering code actually work.
gollark: How about it provides *one* advanced computer feature at a time but which one it is is randomly determined every bootup?
gollark: <@565075471012855820> What would "iron computers" do? Where do they fit between normal and advanced ones?
