💡 What:

Added a "Press any key to start" prompt and a 3-second animated countdown (3... 2... 1... GO!) before the game loop begins. Cleaned up redundant/broken color code and ensured consistent ANSI color usage throughout the CLI.

🎯 Why:

The game previously started immediately after printing instructions, which was jarring and didn't give the user time to prepare. The countdown provides a clear transition into gameplay. Using tcflush after the countdown ensures that any accidental keypresses during the wait period don't affect the initial score.

♿ Accessibility:

  • Improved visual hierarchy using bold ANSI colors for controls and game state.
  • Added a clear "GO!" signal to indicate the transition from preparation to active gameplay.
  • Ensured terminal colors are reset upon exit to maintain user environment consistency.
