Yes, I have gotten rid of that part with the 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., and now the
code appears to be working up to [9][19]. Thank you very much. The
coordinates all do look correct, and there are 200 rectangles when I do
list(grid).

Yes, I would very much like some help or general advice now about utilizing
this grid thing. How can I refer to these square's new numerical values to
do things with them? Will I be using things like "grid[0][1]" in specific
functions and methods to refer to squares now? That is what I would like to
do, somehow.

I apologize if these questions are too rudimentary--I am trying to wrap my
head around how this language works in a more general sense so I can start
applying it to things.
