gollark: How the apiocryoforms does this work?!

gollark: That seems plausible.

gollark: Alternatively, the one above is just going to be current position - width I think?

gollark: Then just generate adjacent x/y coordinates and map them back to memory location.

gollark: You should store the grid dimensions with the grid somewhere, and make your update code iterate over the x/y and not just memory location directly.
