There is a Spanish Judge (Emilio Calatayud) that does something similar[1][2]. I wonder if that is a kind of School of Lawn.

Are you implying that several hundred of people (guided by Hernán Cortés) killed 5 million of people?
The New Spain conquest (current Mexico) was done with the help of natives that hated Aztecs. Even with the help of gunpowder it would have been almost impossible to achieve that body count. Thus, the Spanish Crown wanted the help of the Catholic Church, so it promises keep the population to christianize them.
Not a lawyer but if you have signed a contract that clearly binds any development you do in your work laptop to your company you work for.
It is not a breach of contract but you have given intelectual property of any software you coded in your laptop.
I suppose you can speak with your manager and the legal team and ask them to release the code you coded with a license compatible with the project you collaborated. If the focus of that project is different from the focus/market of the company you can talk them into this and make them accept a once-in-a-lifetime exception.
Good luck!
Congratulations! I was getting depressed reading your story but you made a nice comeback!
There are some startups in Madrid[1], also, apply with LinkedIn and Glassdoor[2] to companies in Spain[3]. Speaking English and somewhat-entendible Spanish you shouldn't have any problem getting and interview. Indeed your English native level can be an asset.
Thus, you should bring to the interviews that have experience working in USA. I think that is pretty valued in Spain.
On the other hand, Madrid seems to have an American expat community, there are some meetups [4][5] and facebook groups, etc.
Don't know about Barcelona.
Good luck!

[3] I know you want to work for a startup but Amazon is in Madrid, maybe you are interested in that?

EDIT: formatting.
Would you call "British" or "English" to a US-American citizen based on their language, then?
Differences between "Castillian Spanish" (I don't like that term at all, more on that on [1]) and Latin-American Spanish are only on pronunciation of some consonants. The Royal Spanish Academy (Real Academia Española) accepts allow all of those dialects as rightful variants of Spanish language.
[1] What some politicians call "Castillian Spanish" is the Spanish language spoken in all parts of Spain. It is idiotic to call "Castillian" to a language were some dialects of Spanish (West/East-Andalusian and Canarian [from Canary Islands]) are very similar to Latin-American Spanish.
Stupid question, would it have some sense to use a big array of these microcontrollers to create an actual chip neural network?
I think that somebody would have united all native populations against the Aztecs. An European or else.
Please, could you also educate them and tell them that Spain is a country in Europe? It seems that many US-americans believe Spanish is a race (whatever they think a "race" is) instead a nationality.
Greate game. As a backend developer, is amazing that you did that in 24 hours.
PD: the music is the best part of the game, perfect for coding :)
Any way to print this manual or buy a hard copy?
Mexican Spanish is a dialect in the same way Spanish Spanish or West-Andalucian Spanish... However, all Spanish dialects are Spanish.
Nice small project. This uses a chrome-headless on the background to perform the screenshot, isn't it?
Also, you have included a .DS_Store file in your repository.
Use Continous Integration tools to rate and (if it is bad quality code) reject it.
For example, for Rails development overcommit [1] is known to be useful.
That's not true at all. In Spain no language was forbidden as was in France and Jews were expelled because
- The pressure of mendicant orders.
- The pope.
Nor Catalonia, Nor Basque Country were medieval kingdoms and indeed their nationalist resurgence started at the end of XIX century.
Muslim Spain was not a peaceful place of convivence. Numerous pogroms and killings happend during that time, e.g. the Granada Massacre of 1066 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1066_Granada_massacre
The contribution of Arabs to Spanish culture is enormous but that doesn't hide that in medieval times, almost everybody (including them) had barbaric customs.
Actually, it is more frequently called judeo-español (Jewish-Spanish) in Spain.
