This PR implements two micro-UX improvements for the CLI game:

  1. Start Prompt: Adds a "Press any key to start..." prompt, preventing the game from starting immediately upon execution. This gives the user a moment to prepare.
  2. Cursor Hiding: Hides the blinking cursor during the game loop for a cleaner, more immersive visual experience. The cursor is reliably restored when the game exits or is interrupted by a signal (SIGINT/SIGTERM).

These changes improve the "polish" and accessibility of the game by making the start less jarring and the interface less cluttered.

- Prevents immediate game start by waiting for user input ("Press any key to start...").
- Hides the terminal cursor during gameplay to reduce visual clutter.
- Ensures the cursor is restored on exit (both normal exit and signal interrupt).
- Updates signal handler to be async-signal-safe with correct buffer sizes.
