      7 I made a bit of progress on my code tonight. Maybe my current lifestyle has me
      8 coding better on weeknights than weekend evenings? It's been a long time since
      9 I've had a dayjob that's as physically tiring as chasing around a toddler.
     10 
     11 I built a ring buffer to store characters (not strictly necessary now, but
     12 should be useful for my game), and I can't actually tell if it works right now.
     13 The emulator's debug mode is somewhat useful, but I need more ability to
     14 examine arbitrary regions of my program's memory (which also isn't necessary
     15 right now, but eventually I may need to work outside the zero page and I want
     16 to get used to it). So before I can actually finish this, I should add code to
     17 let me do that.
     18 
     19 I also need to get my head around relative vs. absolute addressing. The docs
     20 have left me with some questions that can probably only be answered by hacking.
