this screen will eventually have an isometric town/city block                   
                                                                                
at the moment, though, I'd like to test ways of achieving the effect            
                         ▀  ▀▀▄▄ ▄ ▀ █ ██▀█▄█ ║║║║  ▀

        ██████           ▀▄▄▀▀   ▄ ▀ ▄ ▄█▀█▄█  █▀▀▄▄▀ shadows would be hard

        ███░░█            ████║║║▀█    ██▀█ ▀▀▄▄▄▄_ - black, but that could be  
        ██████           ▀║║║║██████▀▀██▀▄██▄▄_ -█▀▀▀ confusing if black is     
                         ^  ▀▀▄▄██▄▄▀▀  ▄▄_ -█▀▀▀▀  ▀ used elsewhere)

                  since this perspective limits detail so much, to keep the     
   ██▄▄           final image from being boring, there will have to be at       
   ▀█████▄▄       least three distinct areas. ocean (see above) would be dead   
      ▀▀█████▄▄   simple, and could house some boats. a forest could be useful  
                  for eating up space, but it shouldn't be the image's focus.   
                  A gas station, or a house with an angled roof might look good.
       NOW I'M GONNA SAVE THESE NOTES AND CLEAR THE SCREEN!!!!!!!!!
