    // Yeah it goes over the limit of the final week's 128,
    // but it's fine. There might be a more efficient way
    // of doing this by converting numbers to ASCII
    // characters, but I have no clue how to do that. You'd
    // probably also want a different font if you did it
    // that way since the default is more vertical than
    // diagonal like the lines I draw.
    
    // There's also the issue of it never stopping, which I
    // can just add another line to fix real quick. Hold tight:

    // Now you don't have to worry about running out of numbers
    // in like 50 years! No one signed up for my novel in this,
    // but I'll still leave it in dangit. I'll see if I can add
    // scrolling to the lines once you reach the bottom. I'm
    // thinking of using an array and pushing everything to it,
    // but that sounds longer than the 71 characters I have left.

    // A few minutes after the last paragraph I decided to be
    // cute and go back and restyle the whole program to look
    // like a commodore screen. I think it's pretty sweet! I
    // really only had add a rect draw in the setup method
    // which will probably break everything if I ever decide
    // to go back and add scrolling.
    
    // This is getting really long. Sorry about that.
