## Description
_SpaceWORM_ portrays the improbable and perilous journey of a worm through
space. While that much may be gleaned from the title, it’s the creature’s
peculiar appetites that set it apart from the rest of wormkind: our worm has a
passion for diamonds. Conveniently enough, large numbers of these precious
gems are just lying there in the starry voids, ripe for the picking. Less
conveniently, the heavens are also teeming with that popular space trope:
closely-packed asteroids!
As the worm proceeds downwards through the scrolling playfield, it must be
guided by swerving it left and right to avoid incoming space rocks and to
collect the yellow diamonds. Each diamond scores one point; if the sinusoidal
squirmer smacks into an asteroid, the game ends instantly with a display of
the final score. Of course, appetite comes with eating, so the worm will
increase its speed over time (making the game gradually more difficult).
The game is written in assembly and takes up only 256 bytes of executable
size.
