        the aesthetic is an elaboration on the approach i developed for restricted airspace and documented in nas.sr/2019/10/23/yesterdays-pixels-today/. TT82 employs a few more tricks for even more control over the final colors. the whole thing was laid out in blender.

          coroutines made it a dream to pop in during free moments and add time/state sensitive functionality like an attract mode, a pause menu with nested pages and the like. i cant imagine programming games any other way at this point.
