 +===== Async =====
 +
 +Short for "asynchronous," meaning not taking place at the same time. We use the word "async" to refer to a seed that participants may play offline at any time, typically submitting their finish time to the discord bot when finished. It is okay to pause async seeds to take a break.

-A "pixel" is a small square of a single color and is the smallest visual unit as part of a digital display. Chrono Trigger runs at a size of 256x224 pixels.

 +===== Randomizer =====
 +
 +"Randomizer" is the word that refers both to the version of the game that has been shuffled (Jets of Time is a Chrono Trigger Randomizer) and the software that accepts a vanilla ROM and does the shuffling. Randomizers are gaining a lot of popularity among gamers and Jets of Time is just one of many! The randomized parts of play depend on the individual game; Jets of Time typically randomizes chest contents, Key Items, characters, tech order, and can do more. Many people enjoy randomizers both because they create an environment where speedrunning becomes more than simply memorizing input and they inject fresh playability into many of the older games that we treasured growing up.
