   blinking "PRESS START" launches the game, and a little browser window with tabs in the

+- **Asset-free cards & wallpaper** — every project/hardware card is a CSS gradient tile with
+  an emoji glyph (no screenshots), the desktop shell's app previews are the same CSS mock

 - **Draggable desktop icons** — free placement that snaps to a measured grid, one icon per
   cell, with a follow-the-cursor drag ghost. Icons shrink on cramped viewports so they never
   collide.
