Polymer Picker was written over a period of about 16 months, culminating in it's formal release in December 2022. In the run up to the release, I kept open a thread on the Stardot community forum detailing the progress I was making with the game. Stardot is a forum for users and fans of Acorn Computer's BBC Microcomputer, which was a very popular machine in the 1980s, particularly in British schools. It's most famous game was Elite, released in 1984.
The thread includes links to various development versions, and feedback from forum members. The thread can be viewed as a development diary.

I hope you enjoy playing the game. I am looking at making improvements, but it is proving difficult, due to the memory limitations of the computer. I'll add further updates as and when I can.
