Welcome Newcomer!

You have been assigned to fix bugs in this system. The system in this game is running very unstable ever since the y2k38 happened (codename: epochalypse)

Your task is to fix as many bugs as possible in the program "Bug Splatter". When you have more than 8 bugs, the system will be lost forever, so be careful.

==============

CONTROLS:

- Use the mouse to navigate through the system.
- Use leftclick to select the bugfix when asked.

Trivia: what is y2k38?

This is a time formatting bug in computer systems with representing times after 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038.

The problem exists in systems which measure Unix time – the number of seconds elapsed since the Unix epoch (00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970) – and store it in a signed 32-bit integer. The data type is only capable of representing integers between −(231) and 231 − 1, meaning the latest time that can be calculated is 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038.
