Well, I got a preliminary HUD working, reduced the size of viewable playing field at a time (from 11x24 to 20x10 to make tons of room for the HUD), got a map cursor working, fixed a *very* fatal flaw in map generation, and a few other things I completely rewrote the map generation to fix the errors and I achieved 500 lines in one hour O.o

EDIT: even added those little quirky messages usually seen in SimCity games when setting up a new city like "Seeding Trees" or "Parsing Mountains" :3
