The meteor is depicted streaking down towards Earth, bringing destruction, devastation, a total reset, a game over.

I wanted at least sound effects and preferably a background music of some sort, but I'm not a very musical person. I tried [GBT player](https://github.com/AntonioND/gbt-player) and the Carillon editor/player, both found on [gbdev.io](gbdev.io). Unfortunately, neither suited my purposes, so I dedicated myself to the task of writing my own audio engine and data format. I cribbed the tooling (an s3m template file and the bones of a conversion script) from GBT player, but largely wrote it myself. Honestly, though it only took a couple days, writing this audio engine was a beast of its own work, and I'd love to write it up and distribute it at some point. \ No newline at end of file
