Walking

Roughly half his moves are now a lateral stroll instead of a hop — legs
alternating, leaning into it, antenna trailing behind, eyes on where he's going.
His stride is keyed to the distance actually covered rather than to a clock, so
his feet never skate.

He only walks sideways. He has not been told this is a limitation and would be
embarrassed to learn it. Turn it off in Behaviour if you prefer a robot fully
committed to the thruster lifestyle.

Three themes seeing summer off

Sunflower for the late sun, petals with seed-dark hands. Linen for the
picnic blanket you still haven't put away. Sky for one more clear afternoon.
He does not know summer is ending. Don't tell him.

Sliders that know where they are

Size and hop distance still go anywhere you drag them, but points along each one
now have names that light up when you land on them, and you can click a name to
snap to it.

Size is measured in fish: Guppy, Trout, Mermaid, Whale. Yes, one
of those is not a fish. Take it up with him.

Distance is measured in places from the Guide: Traal, Damogran,
Krikkit, Magrathea. He has been to none of them.

Smaller things

• The randomised wait is now ±π seconds, so he sometimes turns up early. π
  isn't just a good reason, it's a great reason.
• Buy me a coffee and Star him on GitHub now live in the settings footer,
  visible from every tab instead of buried in About.
• The small print got bigger. It was too small to read, which is a poor quality
  in small print.
