You could use something similar to this to make every pixel location on a screen carry data to the next screen via mouse coordinates. The PPT just needs to have a way to create an updating popup that tells you the current x,y of your pointer, so that you can intentionally preserve specific data.
@@thomasi.4981 This could even be implemented in a user-plausible way by making the locations substantially larger than a pixel. Maybe you won't get _good_ performance, but you could maybe do two bytes at a time, one each for x and y.

3 billion human lives ended on August 29th, 2077. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare: the war against the machines. The computer which controlled the machines, PowerPoint, sent two Terminators back through time.
The endgame of all of this is to get Powerpoint to compile and run itself.
It seems funny but in reality most of the programming languages are built on themselves. Example, Go is written in GoLang.

They didn't understand how to use it so they used Word, then they forgot about PP until the late 20th century when archeologists dug it up
No, if you look at the statistics from stackoverflow. People were already discussing the unlimited possibility of powerpoint

Yes, in fact clicker.py in the GitHub repo does just that.
