And how can a drawing program be all that at once?

It is because you don't just draw what things are - "they are
like this" (the bitmap/raster way) - or "they are like this as
some data system, devised to express them, to save disk space
and be zoomable" (the vector way) - no, this way is different
because what is also included is _how they behave_.

After you draw (even while you draw), they are not dead, so
you can shout: BE ALIVE! and then you have an animation.
or shout BE AT WAR! and you have game. Or BE NORMAL! and it is
a simulation.

Okay, I'll do a new video! Huge mistake by me, this, not
taking it really slow showing and explaining. The video will
show everything, God willing. But I am now not at the level
when I wrote all that code, so be patient as I know you are
and it will come - I don't know when it will come.
