After starting the game and waiting for a while most of the title screen disappears and displays a glitchy flash every few seconds.

GIVEN the game has entered CTX_GAMEOVER
AND countdown has reached zero
THEN execution should display SCORECARD in CTX_SCORECARD as follows:

• Indication that this is high score screen
• list of top 10 scores listed in classic, justified two column fashion
• Table should be sorted from highest (top) to lowest (bottom)

Scorecard

Title Screen

Given a user should see a thematic title of the game when starting the game to draw interest then there should be a cyberpunk themed title to get them excited about playing it.

Mockup and implement a title screen with a cyberpunk theme.

• Create mockup as guideline using Pico-8 palette/extended palette.
• Include enumerated color Palette in mockup and if using extended colors
• include pixel dimensions of HUD parts on mockup
• Build dumb screen (no animations or actions) to display on screen
• Add animations for elements visible without any actions (e.g.: Only what is seen before the player does anything)
• Top & Bottom panels easeIn from top/bottom respectively
• logo svg in/out animation
• #5
• Play |> blink animation
• volume bars drawn statically
• volume bars animate with (dummy) music
• Refactor title code to single tab in p8 file

What it should do

GIVEN the game has entered a context of CTX_GAMEOVER
THEN gameover() should be called until ctx changes
AND display the words "GAME OVER"
AND "Continue #"
WHERE # is a countdown from 10 to 1
IF # reaches 0
THEN ctx changes to CTX_SCORECARD
ELSEIF player presses X
THEN play is reset and ctx changes to CTX_GAMEPLAY

GAME OVER should be drawn in SVG
Countdown should be centered and have a clean aesthetic

Legacy code is activated when X is pressed and encounters a missing enable screen saver check.
