Hahaha, yeah I'm afraid I'm not much of an artist. In my defense, something about the way Newgrounds embeds the content is screwing up my tiles, shaving off the last (or maybe the first) row and column of pixels. Rest assured that Bill has undergone a number of redesigns, and won't look quite so much like a penis in the next version.
Regarding Bill's start-stop nature; I don't really have much of an excuse other than to say it was done this way on purpose. My target audience for this was 8 and 9 year olds, so I removed as much complexity as I could; including recursion and command arguments. To be honest I kind of like the limitation though, because part of the challenge is coming up with a solution that makes up for the "hardware" limitations.
I agree it is pretty lame that you can't remove commands from Bill's program, but if it helps, you can just overwrite a command with something else, or just the empty command.
Thanks for playing!
