## Notes

Procedural NumPy textures throughout; no upstream PNG assets are bundled.
Audio is procedural beeps (no upstream WAV/OGG reuse). See `../NOTES.md` for
deliberate cuts (bosses, lightmap, joystick UI, music tracks, multiple enemy
types).

License: Port code under the engine's MIT. Mirrors upstream's zlib gameplay
design; CC-BY-SA 3.0 attribution to Simon Larsen for the original concept and
visual reference (no upstream art reused; all textures are procedural).
