hey everyone, check out this programming-and-drawing exploration we worked on together with @Ivan Reese and @wolkenmachine at Ink&Switch a couple of months ago - https://www.inkandswitch.com/crosscut/

I always love little gems hidden in source code

Crosscut ran into an error.

 Please try a 10-finger reload.
 If that proves unsuccessful,
 you must delete Crosscut,
 and lose all your work.

 Would you like to say a few words?

No one will read them, but your feelings will be set free.

Backstory — we had a retreat for all the lab folks back in December, and we were going to do some user testing of the prototype. But there were a bunch of really easy-to-hit crashes. (Still are — yay, prototypes). So as a quick hack, I added an input handler for 10 fingers that'd just run

location.reload()

or whatever. Of course, that only worked for some of the crashes.. so I wrote this error message as a

prompt()

so that people could.. vent.

The way Excel does "loops" it by smart autofill from examples. I feel like that would be the most natural fit...? I don't know if this is impossible to implement, but I think my dream would be to just copypaste as many as I think I need, box-select them, then be able to edit the 'count' box to adjust dynamically.
