I wanted to introduce concepts in small steps, and have the clode as clean
and simple as possible for each step.  I wanted to explain the reasons for
things, and show the progression from the straightforward way to do things
to the efficient way to do things.  I wanted to introduce as few new
instructions with each step as possible.

I didn't see any need to use/consult Nick's code - a playfield is pretty
simple to draw :)

Cheers
