I don't get it, what is this supposed to be? Another drag and drop? I am failing to understand the uniqueness of this. Also, if you put the cup on the tape and try to move the tape, the cup removes itself.

Drag the floppy to the console and you'll get a download link for the tool.

  Got so far, but what does the tool do?

    It looks like it's some sort of game-playing AI?: > Automat's objective is to be able to semi-autonomously play a variety of games. It's the first step towards a more general environment for interacting with computers. That's not what I got from the notebook, though. From the notebook, I thought it was some sort of new programming paradigm, so I'm confused.

  That was very touchy for me; it took 4 or 5 goes to get the floppy in, at least. The tape worked easily. (I didn't see the floppy or notebook being able to do anything)

Open the notebook and flip through it. Drink the coffee (drag the mug downwards). Put the floppy in the device. Put the VHS tape in the device.

  That's an illustration of the difficulties. I got the disk, video dvd and even drank the coffee but I initially thought the notebook was some sort of box for the video so didn't realise you could open it to read!

    I think that's on purpose/by design, so that users are nudged into exploring. Things like these were pretty common in adventure games back in the days, which I probably spent too much time on playing...

  I first tried to shake the coffee to see if I could make a mess, didn't work. When the mug is empty, the github logo becomes visible and you can click through to the github repo.

  How do you open the notebook? I can drag it around, no problem. The cursor also changes to a pointy hand when over notebook's right side, but clicking doesn't do anything. Nor does click-and-hold-then-dragging.

    Clicking on the right side (pointy hand) worked for me.
