## Overview

This is a small, single-file DOS game: the player runs a simple Snake-like game with hard-coded obstacles and a goal, alongside screens and timer-driven music. The README documents these capabilities and some interactions, but no assembly excerpts were provided, so the graph shows only README-supported relationships.

Main entry points: [`project.asm`](https://github.com/orionshinesbright/snakegame-assembly8088/blob/main/project.asm) (Game Runtime)
