  My illusions about a contiguous, linear, analog universe have been
shattered. The universe is, after all, pixelated and has a maximum
resolution.

  When will an upgraded version with a higher resolution be released?
I feel like running out of space already.

Maybe our universe is just a simulation in our creator's pc.

Isaac.

It's a reasonable hypothesis. And it *would* explain the whole deal with 
the quarks coming in 12 different "flavours" and so on. :-P

Don't worry.  It's got full-scene anti-aliasing. :)

  I think it's your eyes which are doing the antialiasing...
