Oh, sorry. That was a typo. In fact, bar 26 should be roughly the same
as bar 18, but I picked a wrong number here.

I could, but I probably won't. On the lines where the shadow is now,
there should be some land, or two other boats, later, where the rescued
persons will be delivered to. So, I'll drop the shadow again in later
versions. But maybe I'll do some tricks with the water surface
instead...
Anyway, the foundation is done now. I plan to concentrate more on adding
the various game elements than on further graphical details having
nothing to do with the game itself. When the game is ready, maybe I'll
add some further graphical tricks if there's still room for it, as it
has been done with "This planet sucks".
So, here's probably the last completely un-playable version, Version
1.502.
The only thing corrected here, in fact, is the wrong note in bar 26
mentioned by Glenn. All else is the same as before.

With love (and some gameplay to add)
