Synced Meditation

This project syncs your breathing with people around the world, crossing time zones and distance boundaries.

There is a known bug involving the number at the top right. If you know how to fix it, please tell me in the comments.

Please don't use this if it endangers your health.

Instructions:
Breathe in as the orb grows, and breathe out as it shrinks.

Change the speed of your breathing by tapping the number in the upper left corner.

About:
This uses the "days since 2000" block to sync size across time zones.

The number in the upper left corner displays what speed you're on, with zero being stopped and five being fast-ish. Two is the default.

The number in the upper right corner displays the number of people currently syncing to that speed, including you. You can use this project for a group meditation, to connect with your friends, or just to calm yourself down.

Everyone can use this project, but New Scratchers can't be counted in the cloud variables.

To see who's syncing with you, visit this: https://scratch.mit.edu/cloudmonitor/450749149/
