                                        for the record, i had to learn some forbidden CSS dark arts to do the thing where the arrow appears on the slider. hope you appreciate!!

                                      made it do the thing so that changing the speed back calculates where the current position needs to be so everything works smoothly. this is the kind of code where you go: "it works!! let's never touch this again!"

                                  turns out this caused a performance hit because the current time is too big a number :/ but then i fixed it :) and then i added a variable number of line segments depending on how fast it's running. possibly a bad idea, but!! performance test:

                                it's so funny to be working on a project that is performance-bound by doing a single sum lots of times. normally the maths is the fast bit!
