In plain words

Flowdrafter is a free writing tool designed to help writers complete first drafts quickly by preventing self-editing during composition.

    I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris.
