One thing I've noticed with the latest algorithm change is that the roaster cam now catches where the chaff is coming off the coffee. That's invisible looking at single frames, but when you stack up 20 there's a clear signal where that gets brown while the rest of the coffee is still green. (unless you're roasting decaf as decaf coffees no longer have any of the silver skin layer to come off as chaff during roasting)

The stupid simple optimizations turned out to be effective and I confirmed another bottleneck in the original code that caught my eye when I first saw it (I didn't change it then because I was less familiar with the code and performance wasn't yet a problem) which is letting the latest version of the code run a lot faster than it used to even with a heavier weight algorithm running alongside the original.
@neal Zeus is a dick, I'm for this
@lapis If we're declassifying planets (rather than recognizing that dwarf is an adjective that doesn't mean "not") Jupiter is a good candidate. It's massive enough that it doesn't technically orbit the sun.
@technomancy Changing to flat side down spawning was a mistake. Destroys rotationless playability.
While running errands, the radio was doing that thing where it's mostly playing one station, but then it briefly cuts over to a different station for just a single word like, "confusion" or "radar". I think whatever the other program may have been something like a very slow paced word based game show.
That might be long term motivation to port the whole codebase over to something that can run on my laptop.
