Wow, this is clever. And for once, it's cleverly weird in a way that is interesting to play.
Not only do you have to deal with playing two games of breakout at once, but the same mouse controls two paddles simultaneously, but at different scales.
The interesting challenge is when the two balls are briefly in sync but you can't hit them at once. You have to move the window paddle up so you hit its ball earlier, then go and get the tiny ball. Easier said than done though...
A desert traveller is searching for water. He sees, in the valley ahead, a shimmering blue expanse. Unfortunately, it’s a mirage. But fortunately, when he reaches the spot where there appeared to be water, there actually is water, hidden under a rock. Did the traveller know, as he stood on the hilltop hallucinating, that there was water ahead?
Once I changed half my working code ( and wasted an Hour of time ) before realising that I was testing different code. On the other hand, now newer code had 10 times more testing points.
I'm going to say no, he didn't know. But I don't think I can properly articulate why which just get me into trouble with an even more nuanced variant of that question.
Let me illustrate a probable story which might muddy the waters and expand the surface area of belief.
Consider a woman whose child is suffering from a disease. She has gone to all the doctors she was recommended and found no success. She is told to visit Church and pray to Jesus. After the sunday mass, she tells her story to few random church goers. They immediately recognize the medical condition and tell her to visit a particular doctor. Doctor sees her child and provides medication. Her child is cured after few years. Now the question is did she know going to church would solve her medical problems?
This game is so silly it makes me laugh. It works great on Windows 10. I don't have that fancy trimmed chrome titlebar just the regular box style.
It reminds me of a program my brother wrote in high school that would spawn invading spaceships (Java Triangles) onto your desktop and they would bonk your mouse around.
Meanwhile, I was in the corner of the lab playing Starcraft.

Here's a real world example :

Imagine a video feedback loop version of gettier problem where the problem is resolved only at the Nth nested level.
Sort of like this short story : https://qntm.org/responsibility

I made a simple online playable game of it back then: http://mck-.github.io/T3/

Linux/Chrome: Paddle doesn't move but the paddle popup does bounce the ball.
Linux/Wayland/Chromium: chromium crashes as soon as I click "launch game" :))
Only issue is the low resolution screen on my old Thinkpad makes it difficult to see the entire game area.
Super cool game! Plays great on higher res screens, just wanted to test on Linux.
Edit: also GNOME 45
Linux/Chrome on gnome with enabled wayland ozone.
