Optional sounds: water, wind, and creaking wood. Keep volume low enough for your microphone target.

The 20 animated boats represent progress toward 2,400 soldiers. Enter any positive number of minutes. Decimals work too: 2.5 = 2 minutes 30 seconds. Changing the goal starts a fresh crossing for this class.

Higher allows more sound. Adjust for your room and activity.

Brief sounds get a 3-second grace period. Sustained noise pauses progress; 2 calm seconds resume it. Earned progress stays.

Audio is measured locally, never recorded or uploaded. Class progress and settings stay in this browser; use the same computer and browser to resume.
