Alleyway: a checksum-matched Game Boy disassembly

Alleyway reconstructs the 1989 Game Boy game as assembly source organized by audio, display, input, physics, and stage code. Its build script emits a 32 KiB ROM with published CRC32 and SHA-1 hashes, and accompanying notes identify unused routines and behaviors.
