# 2020 dot ZZT: The Reconstruction Era

By: Dr. Dos
Genre: Utility/Engine
Version: 1.00
Date: Dec. 28, 2020

# Description

2020 dot ZZT is a collection of various experiments, works of art, and other doodads made throughout 2020.
It is a continuation of "2019", which was in turn inspired by Rabbitboots's "Doodads 2018". I decided that I needed to expand the title since "2020" has STRONG ASSOCIATIONS now.
