I did make progress, however! I cracked open the "start" program, so I now have a slightly sharper idea of what's going on under the hood when I see this on the screen:

And I even made it say my own thing when you pick "New Game"!

And I made a whole second screen! This DOUBLES the size of the game world! There's even a farmer who complains if you trespass upon his meager field of flowers:

Why, at this rate of growth, in only ten days I'll have a thousand game boards! Give or take. No promises. Actually, that's not going to happen.
Still, slow and steady wins the race, as they say. Whoever they are.
