    The game now runs as a program of its own: a start screen, menus, saved
    settings and progress, and downloadable builds for Linux and Windows.

    • Start screen: new game, continue at the level left, settings, import
      a ROM (file dialog, or drop the file on the window), quit; after a
      pack's last level it picks the world the expert run begins at.
    • Pause menu on start or Esc: resume, settings, back to the start
      screen.
    • Settings, each saved at once: the classic or a wide view (320 to
      560 px), window scale and full screen, the pack's status bar or a
      modern one, keys and gamepad buttons rebound per button, lives that
      count only for the score or classic lives, slow mode at 75 % or 50 %
      with the sound at its pitch, and the volume.
    • Gamepads through SDL3, also plugged in during play.
    • Progress, best times and settings kept in the data directory; the
      game saves at a level's end and when you leave, never inside a level.
    • Builds with Zig 0.17; zig build release packs the Linux and Windows
      programs with the guide, the licence and the credits.
