When updating sim checklists in phetsims/phet-info#189, I skipped this one because it looks like it's quite out of date. Whenever work on this sim resumes, I recommend converting this over to the latest template.

[veillette]

The checklist was converted to the latest template and the milestones that were achieved have been incorporated into the checklist.(9/7/2022)

[veillette]

Code review was completed and comments were addressed (second week of march 2023)

[veillette]

Sim RC tests completed on Monday 4/4/2023.

Sim RC tests completed on Monday 4/4/2023.

Not quite. RC1 test completed, but we still need to complete at least RC2.

[veillette]

The testing on RC.2 is completed phetsims/qa#933

[veillette]

The simulation was published on 4/18/2023.

[veillette]

We confirmed that the after-publication work with "Legends of Learning" is not needed as it is a too advanced sim for their audience.

The remaining checklist items are for @amanda-phet, so unassigning others.

All looks good to me. Closing!
