- scorch.asm is the main game code (with many assorted routines) - `scorch.asm` is the main game startup code
- grafproc.asm - graphics routines like line or circle - `game.asm` - it all happens here

We were trying to use macros, pseudo-ops, and simple graphics primitives as much as possible. This way, it should be relatively easy to port this code to, for example, the C64.
