Implement High Score System and Display

[Copilot]

Overview

This PR implements a complete high score system for Ophidian with persistent storage, sorted display, and full keyboard/mouse navigation support.

Changes

New Components

HighScoreEntry (src/score/high_score_entry.py)

• Data model representing individual high score entries
• Stores score, maximum snake length, highest level reached, and timestamp
• Implements equality comparison for proper identity checking
• Provides JSON serialization/deserialization

HighScoreRepository (src/score/high_score_repository.py)

• Repository pattern for high score persistence
• JSON-based storage (automatically excluded by .gitignore)
• Automatic sorting (highest score first)
• Configurable top-N limiting (default: 10 scores)
• Methods: add_score(), is_high_score(), load(), save(), clear()

Updated Components

HighScoresMenu (src/graphics/high_scores_menu.py)

• Replaced placeholder with functional high score table display
• Shows rank, score, length, and level in a formatted table
• Color-coded top 3 scores (gold/green, silver/white, bronze)
• Scroll support for lists with more than 8 entries
• Visual scroll indicators ("▲ More above", "▼ More below")
• Performance optimization via score caching
• Keyboard navigation: Up/Down arrows to scroll, ESC/Enter to return

GameEngine (src/game_engine.py)

• Tracks maximum snake length during gameplay
• Automatically saves high scores when game ends or restarts
• Only saves scores with cumulative_points > 0
• Logs new high score achievements

Ophidian (src/ophidian.py)

• Auto-refreshes scores when entering high scores menu
• Resets scroll position on menu entry

Features

✅ Persistent Storage - High scores saved to high_scores.json between sessions
✅ Automatic Sorting - Scores always displayed highest-first
✅ Smart Limiting - Only top 10 scores retained
✅ Rich Display - Shows rank, score, length, and level for each entry
✅ Full Navigation - Keyboard (arrows, ESC, Enter) and mouse (click) support
✅ Performance - Caching prevents repeated disk reads
✅ UX Polish - Color coding, scroll indicators, empty state messaging

Testing

• 26 unit tests covering all new functionality
• All existing tests continue to pass
• Integration tests verify game-to-menu flow
• Cross-platform compatibility verified
• CodeQL security scan: 0 alerts

Example

After playing a game, the high score is automatically saved. Navigate to "High Scores" from the main menu to see:

HIGH SCORES

RANK     SCORE      LENGTH     LEVEL
#1       15000      150        10
#2       12500      125        8
#3       10000      100        7
...

Press ESC or ENTER to return to main menu
Use UP/DOWN arrows to scroll
