Having iteratively written the code to show the right things and navigate appropriately, I now need to refactor to a more elegant solution, using less program space.

The changes to reduce power, by powering down while waiting for input, resulted in less responsive buttons. (One reason is that the timer is stopped.) I'm not yet happy with the code I've got handling the input. I'd also like the ability to turn the screen off after a while, which requires the ATTiny to not be asleep. I'm not sure which is a better power saving strategy, and would like to solve the input usability before possibly not needing the solution due to not sleeping till a much longer timeout.

Allow the game to be turned off, and turned back on where it left of.
This can probably be done by using EEPROM.
Hopefully there's enough program space left.
