Monkey Sort is a submission to the PICO-1K Jam 2023, inspired by Professor Tetsuro Matsuzawa's experiment at Kyoto University's Primate Research Institute in 2013 [1][2]. In this experiment, he demonstrated chimpanzees' memory abilities to rapidly memorise and sort numbers displayed on a screen.

Gameplay: You'll be presented with a series of numbers, and your mission is to memorise their locations on the screen within the given time frame. Once the timer ticks down, it's time to prove your ability compared to one of the chimpanzees by accurately sorting the numbers in their correct order. Don't forget to post your high score in the comments.

Controls:
- Left and Right Arrows: Navigate and select numbers.
- X Key: Confirm your selection
- Z Key: Confirm next round

My diagnosis: not a monkey. :(
