- Added a "Press any key to start..." prompt to let the user prepare. - Implemented a 3-second animated countdown (3, 2, 1, GO!) with ANSI colors. - Used `tcflush` to ensure a fair start by clearing buffered input during the countdown. - Cleaned up the score display logic to remove redundancy and prevent terminal flicker.

💡 What:
Added a "Press any key to start" prompt and a 3-second animated countdown before the game begins. Also refactored the UI update logic to remove a redundant print call that was causing flickering.
🎯 Why:
The game started immediately upon execution, which could catch users off guard. The countdown builds anticipation and allows for preparation. The UI refactoring ensures a smoother visual experience without redundant characters or flicker.
📸 Before/After:
Before: Game starts immediately; score updates twice per tick causing flicker.
After: Clear start prompt -> 3-2-1-GO countdown -> Smooth, single-line score updates.
