Fixing up nuisances, and throwing out a board I don't care for in favor or something slightly more original as we mostly wrap up this still unnamed ZZT game

"I'll make a short ZZT game on stream", I said. "It'll be 9 boards and maybe need a second stream", I said.

Welcome to Part 4 of this unnamed game that still isn't finished, but it's getting there...

Doing most of a run of what already exists, patching things up as I go, before returning to the Town-style starmine board and trying to come up with something a little more original. After a bit, I do at least stumble across a concept for the board that feels a bit more fresh, while still incorporating stars and breakables.

Given my January stream schedule, most likely this will be patched up off-stream. I kind of lost the plot of trying to include a little bit of teaching by this point, whoops. But you too can make a ZZT game! And faster than me even!
