misc notes
8-bit truthers will complain that the color palette is not actually 8-bit. I discuss this on my "blog". If that makes you really angry, then I suggest you take a nap, butthorn.
This is an agile development cycle, so I'm poppin' in features as I come up with them or as folks request them. Expect changes here often, and do not be shocked to find gross code. If you have suggestions, I'm totally open to hear them and learn if you're not a nerf dart about it!

I designed, built, and created all of the graphics for this passion project. The dinosaur art in the source was found through a variety of geocities websites.
