ZenGarden Paralysis

I had a lot of trouble with Android layout techniques.  I think it’s just the typical beginner’s woes.  In the process, though, I decided to toss out everything and start ZenGarden anew… Then I decided NOT to do that.

The problem is ZenGarden isn’t so compelling on it’s own.  So, before I move forward, I need a clear vision of what I want.  Why do I scrutinize and why don’t I just get ‘er done?

My current idea is to go back to the tile-based layout and include a little animation of a man raking the garden.  The ultimate goal is for it to feel old-school and 8-bit.  I’m still digesting this idea, though.  In the end, I just need to get to work.
