Plot
Taken from the game's instructions:
You are a fisherman out on the sea in your trusty trawler. Beneath you the sea is teeming with different layers of fish. By using your skill and judgement can you position your boat and drop your line to make the catch of a life-time?
gollark: Anyone with other arbitrary preferences is wrong. gnobody is the function `f(x)=sinh(x²)/tan(3x)`.
gollark: But I don't arbitrarily prefer 1 indexing, I arbitrarily prefer 0.
gollark: I arbitrarily prefer 0 for aesthetic reasons.
gollark: Change them then.
gollark: Lua is flexible enough that you can (mostly) make them start with 3.
