New Year's Eve, 1999

Y2K is a looming problem that technicians have been working to prevent. Recently, they've managed to create a patch. They scheduled a time for it to be distributed to all the world's computers.

Except the person in charge of uploading was late, and waited until the new year's countdown began to upload the patch!

You are the server programmed to install the patch on various machines. Drag Y2KPatch over to System in order to apply a patch to a particular machine. Each machine will have its own hiccups and obstacles that may make it harder to apply the patch, such as slow loading bars, password protections, and spam ads. 

Use multithreading by clicking the multithread button or pressing the space bar to work on multiple machines at once. A good example use case is working on a new machine while another has a loading bar that is seemingly frozen and taking forever.

Lucky for you, since you are a computer, you can work thousands of times faster than humans. What is 5 seconds to them will feel like a minute and a half to you.

Try to save as many computers as possible from the Y2K bug before the happy new year!

Note: if the program takes more than ~20 seconds to load, try refreshing the page.

Crowd cheering sound effect is from Pixabay, countdown sound effects are from this video. Explosion sound effect comes from this video. All of the aforementioned sound effects were slowed down in post.

The bad ending explosion is a public domain image as well. I had to replace it after I found out the one I used previously was AI-generated :/
