    builder built v1

    • Remixed from Cat vs Cucumbers: same cat-dodging loop, now a space-cat astronaut floating in a starfield, dodging comets and collecting stars.
    • Comets and stars both ramp fall speed with speed = 1 + runTime * 0.07, read live via state().speed; comet/star spawn intervals shrink as speed rises.
    • Stars give +10 score and vanish with a sparkle burst + chime on pickup; scoring also ticks +1 per second survived, same cadence as the original.
