This PR introduces a micro-UX improvement to the "Speed Clicker" game by enhancing how scores and achievements are presented.

💡 What: The UX enhancement added

  1. Numeric Formatting: Large scores are now formatted with thousands separators (e.g., 1,000,000 instead of 1000000).
  2. Contextual Achievement Feedback: When a player breaks their personal best, the notification now shows what the previous record was: ✨ NEW BEST! 🥳 (was 1,000).
  3. Visual Polish: Added emojis and bold yellow highlighting (CLR_CTRL) to achievement messages.

🎯 Why: The user problem it solves

  • Readability: Raw large integers are hard to read at a glance in a fast-paced game.
  • Context: Players often forget their exact previous high score, so showing the "was X" value makes the new achievement feel more rewarding and concrete.

♿ Accessibility

  • Increased visual hierarchy for important game events (new bests).
  • Improved information density and clarity through better number formatting.

PR created automatically by Jules for task 9929940778384288365 started by @aidasofialily-cmd

Implemented numeric comma formatting and improved achievement notifications.

- Added `src/utils.hpp` with `formatWithCommas` utility.
- Updated `src/main.cpp` to use comma formatting for all score displays.
- Enhanced "NEW BEST" notifications with visual flair (✨) and contextual feedback (showing the previous high score).
- Ensured proper color reset on the HUD line to prevent terminal bleed.

Accessibility/UX:
- Improved readability of large scores for better cognitive processing.
- Provided immediate contextual feedback for achievements.
- Enhanced visual prominence of personal best milestones.
