 Whorld is a free, open-source visualizer for sacred geometry. It uses math to create a seamless animation of mesmerizing psychedelic images. You can VJ with it, make unique digital artwork with it, or sit back and watch it like a screensaver.
 
 Whorld's visualization is controlled via parameters which can be adjusted manually, or modulated by oscillators. A given setting of the parameters and their oscillators form a patch. You can use the demo patches, or create your own.
 
-Patches can be grouped together in a playlist. You can play patches manually, or via MIDI, ~~or Whorld can auto-play them for you. Whorld also includes a crossfader, which allows you to interpolate between two patches (AKA "tweening").~~ [not yet in V2]

-Whorld is optimized for VJing. All of its functions are available in full-screen mode, via shortcut keys, mouse or trackball, and MIDI controllers. ~~Whorld can be synchronized to music, using tap tempo, or MIDI clocks.~~ [not yet in V2]

 4. Modernize the user interface via *dockable panes* and similar enhancements. [done]
 5. Move rendering to a worker thread, to avoid glitches and tearing. [done]
 6. Redo the MIDI mapping, to improve usability and flexibility. [done] 
-7. Streamline the application, preserving what’s valuable and discarding what isn’t. [in progress]

-If you wish to be an official _alpha tester_, please contact the author via their website, social media, or GitHub. Note the system requirements below. 
+7. Streamline the application, preserving what’s valuable and discarding what isn’t. [done]
+8. Add transparency (alpha). [done]
+9. Eventually, implement quad mirroring and other visual effects.
 
 **Requirements:**
+
 * PC running Windows 10 or 11 with DirectX 12 (or higher)
 * Whorld could conceivably run on Windows 8 or even Windows 7 if the necessary service packs are applied, but performance will likely suffer. Direct2D 1.1 is **required**.
 * Whorld may work satisfactorily on a Mac via virtualization software such VMWare or Parallels, but this is unproven. Note that virtualizer-induced misbehaviors will be considered _features_, not bugs.
 
 V2 has its own issues list, [HERE](https://victimofleisure.github.io/Whorld/Whorld2-issues.html). V2 does not necessarily agree with the V1 documentation, and this will be addressed though not immediately.
