Hi, I'm the author! Thanks for saying it's well made :).
I actually agree with you, the intended audience isn't someone who has never heard of CPUs before.
I tend to either write for myself: you know the saying you don't understand something until you try to explain. Or I'm writing for the person self-studying that is looking for that one explanation where everything finally clicks. I always get a lot out of those type of posts myself, so like to create them for others too.
Author here: That's a cool idea, I hadn't thought of that! It doesn't quite work in the current implementation, but would with some small tweaks.
Basically we would need to have the enemy update their path only after a small delay (instead of every frame), so "momentum" would carry them on their existing path so the player could fake them out.
