   builder built v1

   • Cat moves left/right at the bottom of the screen; cucumbers spawn at random x at the top and fall straight down, matching the Block Rain engine's dodge loop.
   • Fall speed and spawn rate both scale with speed = 1 + time * 0.08, exposed via state().speed, so difficulty ramps continuously the longer the run lasts.
   • Score ticks up by 1 every second survived while scene === 'playing' (a soft tick beep plays each tick), independent of dodge count.
