Looking good.

Reminds me a bit of my very, very first ever "programming" job.  I was 
given the task of devising a city-scape for a scrolling, helicoper-type 
game to run on the Commodore 64.  The idea was that the player was 
looking down from the vantage of the chopper and chasing bad guys or 
something.  To economize we only loaded certain sectors of the map as 
they came into view of course and I could only store some fixed number 
of city block designs.  So the attempt was to design block patterns that 
could be combined in different ways when placed next to one another to 
leverage the number of apparent structures and patterns down below.
