Reached S+50!

Not even totally sure why I decided to go for this whole grind other than just the thought of "it would be neat to do that sometime before X rank exists" but it was pretty fun!! I have SO much respect for the people that got that within the first month somehow because that was Such a grind.

Definitely not doing that again but did also just have a ton of fun playing still, absolutely love Splat 3 so far, can't wait to see what they do with X rank next month!

Welcome to my post! Pretty neat, huh? Press A again to close signs!
This thing is so ridiculously hacked together! I'm surprised it's functional at all!
Everything in this post is raw HTML with inline css!
That means I can put anything I want in here! On this last screen I'm going to put the Eraserhead baby and turn you into eggbug!
That's it! Thanks for playing my game :D
Controls:
Use  dpad to move the hero and collect items
Press  A when below a sign to start/stop reading it
INFORMATION
HOW DO YOU MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS?
The "smallest" post I found on this site that I had no idea how to replicate at first was this post made by @blackle. If you're able to dissect that post on your own, you'll find that they use the width of a diplay:inline-flex element to "store" a variable that we can access from other elements using calc()!
This is an incredibly clever idea which is the basis of this post. If you understand the css from that post and know how to generate HTML in a programming language, you can probably make a post like this one (not to say that it will be easy, though!)
If you like this post and somehow aren't following blackle yet, you should! It has made various mindblowing posts since then that I can't even begin to understand the creation of.
WHY FIREFOX/CHROME ONLY?
I don't know much about how css is implemented, but in my experience Chrome and Firefox have the most similar implementations and are both widely used. Safari is kind of annoying and requires some special care for some css styling, but this post could work on safari for all I know. I'm just not going to go out of my way to support it. If you are on an iOS device and using "Chrome" or "Firefox" but this post doesn't work on your device, I encourage you to read this article!
BEHIND THE SCENES
I used Python and the xml.etree API to make this post. If you want to see the code that generated this post, you can find it here This code is extremely brittle and I would heavily recommend not using it but you might find it interesting.
You can also see a debug version of this post which (somewhat) shows how it works here.
