You’ve Been Selected for a “Random” Screening

Hello Everyone! We are back! I don’t know how it’s already been over 4½ hours! Let’s dive straight into the progress!

Instructions take a set amount of time, so it is necessary to have a pause, since even a TI-84 (buy the CG-50 or HP Prime G2 instead; don’t get the CG-100, it lacks plugin support, which is why I recommend the CG-50 at all) is faster. Since systems can’t pause for a single tick, it pauses frame-by-frame instead.

I also felt it would be boring if there was only one colour theme, so I added an enum along with PixelValue => Colour matching so that you can pick a theme! Speaking of picking…

Staring at a Config File

Since the user has to be able to pick a theme, I felt it would be good to have config.toml support for ease of use.
