Almost everything you see here we wrote ourselves, but not all of it. The paintings are in museums, the poems were written by someone a hundred years ago, and the kanji strokes were drawn by another person with patience. This page says what belongs to whom, and under what permission it is used.

What is ours

The questions, the explanations, the ladder of each area, the programming glossaries, the observations about the paintings and the breather lines are original to AstraMentis. The maths, astronomy and chemistry exercises are generated by the app itself.
