; Zero-page RAM we can use with impunity starts at $80 and goes
; upward (at least until $99, but probably further.)

; - Displaying stuff on the screen (the _display kernel_)
; - Doing any processing you like (reading joysticks, updating program state,
;   etc.), as long as you get it all done before the next frame starts!
