Since they used Java, it's probably extremely Windows dependent. It'll never be

Who will figure out what bricks go into your order? Do you think it's a
customized pack, or merely sufficient baggies to cover your pixels and some
extra?

I imagine the order is computer picked on a custom basis, with exact
plate
counts.  Perhaps they give you a couple extra, but here's my math:

1993 bricks in set:

1 48x48 baseplate
44 2x4 slopes
4  2x2 corner slopes

1936 1x1 plates (44x44)
----
1985 bricks.  This leaves 8 spare, which might well be the hanger they
talk about providing, or perhaps a couple of extra plates in case you
drop
a few.
