Implemented a micro-UX improvement for the SPEED CLICKER game.
The changes include:

  1. Instant Visual Feedback: The score and mode status now update immediately when a key is pressed, rather than waiting for the next game tick.
  2. Stable CLI UI: Replaced line-breaking messages with in-place updates using \r, keeping the game interface clean and focused.
  3. Performance & Responsiveness: Refactored the game loop to use poll() with a dynamic timeout, which is more efficient and responsive than a non-blocking poll with a fixed sleep.
  4. Visual Polish: Added the 🔥 emoji and clearer mode labels to enhance the user experience.
  5. Robustness: Used explicit casting in std::max to prevent potential compilation errors in different C++ environments.

♿ Accessibility/UX:

  • Instant feedback makes the "clicker" aspect feel much more satisfying.
  • The stable UI prevents terminal clutter, making it easier to track progress.
