Hmm. I guess my drawing skills aren't what I imaged them to be :) Are
you referring to the chocolate-chip cookie image? Or my poor attempt
at drawing rice and beans?

FWIW, I have a high school student who is doing some work on this
activity during the month of May whom is soliciting suggestions for
improvements. We've already discussed working on a better way to let
deployments customize the program to meet local needs, but exactly
what mechanism to use is still being discussed. In the short term,
simply edit the table in game.py [1] and add/remover images from the
images/ subdirectory [2].
