Made for a challenge in the DragonRuby discord, and also to teach myself SVG programming. This doesn't totally fit the specs, but it was fun to make and a good experience.

I didn't use a sprite because, despite my name, I don't like working with sprites. I like vectors, so vectors are what I went with.

I ended up not making builds for specific systems, they already all have browsers and NWJS is just more of a pain than I want to bother with.

I ran this project for one reason and one reason alone, and that was to see the square hit the corner. As many others watch baseball or football or enjoy a good corn dog every now and then, one of my favorite pastimes is to watch DVD logos in their journey to hit one of the four corners at the border of the screen. This can impossible depending on how the icon is set to move, in such a pattern that hitting the corner is impossible or near impossible. After watching for about fifteen to twenty minutes, no contact with the corner was made, only a few close calls a few inches away. I was crushed. I was defeated, like a fan of team is when they were one touchdown or homerun too short. I cried, sobbed in my hands and looked back up at the screen with vitriol and took to the streets, robbing an ice cream store with a bag full of waffle cones and broken dreams. After that I was sentenced to five months in prison, beaten and bruised by guards and inmates alike until I was released. With all that has happened in my life since the events of that day, I can say that the bitter, residual spite that I have towards this abomination have remained and whenever I think of it, I put a hole in the wall, terrifying my family. This ruined my life.
