Quote From the Film of the Hour:
[about Biff having gone back to November 12, 1955] Unbelievable that Old Biff could've chosen that particular date. It could mean that that point in time inherently contains some sort of cosmic significance. Almost as if it were the temporal junction point of the entire space-time continuum. On the other hand, it would just be an amazing coincidence.

Galaga Bouncing Animation
After backing JazzNESs on Kickstarter in 2017, I was inspired to make my third official Processing.py project: a bouncing animation (à la a DVD player's sleep screen) themed after my favourite game on the album: Galaga.
I created a simple edge-detection program that caused the player's ship from Galaga to bounce off the left and right sides of the screen, then added a little joystick that swayed back-and-forth, "controlling" the swaying of the logo. Then, I overlayed a CRT filter to bring back the game's original style and played the Galaga tune included on JazzNESs.
The result was a cool little looping animation that I occasionally open up on my second monitor when I'm bored.
