In another month, I may be back in a classroom, but if Super Hexagon has taught me anything, I know not to look too far ahead for the patterns beyond the edges. I am writing this exactly five months after a room full of graduating seniors in my last face-to-face class realized we would probably never see each other again in person. I know that this pandemic will also end it has to. I know Super Hexagon ends I've seen some YouTube videos. To play Super Hexagon is to circle intentionally around the center or home staying alert for threats on the border, straining to perceive whatever pattern lies past those edges, but not looking too far beyond the daily crush of enclosing walls because that might cause a collision. The earlier I can recognize a pattern, the better chance I have at it, so I unfocus my eyes slightly, let my fingers lead the arrow keys through the pattern, and push my attention to finding the edges.
Some patterns are not quite easy but familiar, navigable, manageable, but others require such delicacy and precision that I almost never survive.
