🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

• OPSTA — (Integer, Output) — this is the one you pass in and it comes back holding the GKS operating state, and the vibes are:
  • 0 — GKS is closed 🙈 like nobody's home
  • 1 — GKS is open ✨ we're up
  • 2 — Additionally, a workstation is open 🌸 okay so now we're really doing this
  • 3 — Additionally, a workstation is active 🔥 main character energy activated
  • 4 — Additionally, a segment is open 👑 full glow-up, everything's running

so like, it's a little escalating ladder of states and GQOPS is just telling you which rung you're on. periodt.
