If it is unused and unread, does it count as stealing? At least now it has comments.

OK, if you leave it a while, it loads a light, and I can add two more, change the colours, position, and "beam width" but I don't get it at all... Confused | :confused:

I see that from ExplainXKCD - but it doesn't seem to work for me (Chrome Version 49.0.2623.110 m 64-bit) - the lights just vanish after twenty minutes or so...

I can't say why lights vanished for you (I have the same Chrome and they still there after more than 2 hours)...
however I can explain why it works soooooooooooooo slooooooooooooooooooooowly...
In Chrome, when the tab not in focus, the minimum time interval for repeated tasks is 1 second...So events (like animations) are totally disables util back to focus...So actually most JavaScript related functionality is on hold while you are not in focus...

There's something not 100% correct in the application.
You should get some empty ground and a light, with the option to add 2 additional lights.
you can turn the lights, change the beam and change it color. Pick something and wait. A garden should start to appear after a while.

This thing posts back to the server once in a while, so possibly the load was too heavy this morning to run the application correctly. Running Chrome 49.0 and at first it didn't work at all, but later I tried again and now I'm happily growing (creating) a garden. The garden differs from session to session (notice the GUID in the url)

good luck.
