How it works

The game renders at 320×240 and is scaled up 3× with push for crisp pixel art. A small state stack (game.lua) moves between title → countdown → play → score.

• Ticks, not frames: the snake advances one grid cell every 0.25s, whatever your display's refresh rate.
• Growth: on each tick the head moves forward. When the snake eats, it keeps its tail segment instead of dropping it.
• Food spawns on a random free cell in the Room grid, never on the snake's body.
• Game over when the head leaves the room or hits the snake's own body.
