Never mind, some hours after posting my original query I 
made a major breakthrough!  My program has all the 
functionality I want it to have initially, it *seems* to be 
doing what it is meant to be doing AND Valgrind reports zero 
errors and zero memory leaks (other than whatever ncurses is 
doing)!  Therefore it really IS Almost Ready(TM) for its 
0.0.1 release.  I still want to neaten up the design, 
remove/encompass the debug code, make it more 
user-tweakable, etc. but they're relatively trivial tasks 
compared to what I've achieved so far.  The ncurses library 
was useful to get the project off the ground but it is not 
designed for this kind of program so I plan to adopt a 
proper 2-D graphics library (Allegro seems like the best 
choice at the moment) before long so I'm not really 
interested in getting too involved with ncurses.  Thank for 
the reply anyway.
