RUN IT

Run from its own folder: RUN "main.bas" (RUN changes into this folder, so gfx/ resolves relative to it). High scores and the levels reached live in C:/.circuitquest. Modules live in includes/; the art in gfx/ is generated per screen size (art/gen_game_assets.py), the levels in includes/levels.inc by tools/mklevels.py.
