Haiku Topic Engine now boasts a much sleeker appearance and user experience. Here's what's new in this major update:

• Easier controls: The superfluous key presses of the older version have been removed. Now the main menu has a much more intuitive mechanism for selecting a season.
• Prettier menu: Instead of a dull black background, the menu page now simulates ripples on water, adding some life to proceedings.
• Improved summer palette: Instead of the dark greens and muddy browns of the old version, the summertime palette now uses soft yellows and greens.
• Animated backgrounds: The background image for each season now has some unobtrusive pixel animations that add energy and visual interest to the kigo display.

(If you happen to prefer the older version/palette, message me. I can send you a custom version with the colors and interface you like better.)

I am working on a new update that will expand the engine's list of season words, but I do not currently have a timeline for completing this.
