A complete, playable Pong game split across examples/pong/*.ne files
and pulled in from a top-level examples/pong.ne. Features:
- **Title screen** with a 3-option menu (CPU VS CPU / 1 PLAYER /
2 PLAYERS), a cursor sprite, blinking "PRESS A" prompt, brisk
title march on pulse 2, and autopilot that auto-confirms CPU VS
CPU after 45 frames of no input so the headless jsnes golden
harness reaches gameplay by frame 180.
- **Ball physics** with signed-magnitude velocity (u8 magnitude +
sign bit per axis), wall bounce at top/bottom, paddle AABB
collision with push-out, and score-out detection at left/right
exits.
- **Multi-ball** via parallel ball_* arrays (MAX_BALLS = 3). Each
ball scores a point independently; the round continues until the
last ball exits the playfield.
- **CPU AI** that tracks the nearest active ball heading toward its
side with a per-frame step, 4 px dead zone, and CPU_SPEED = 1 so
rallies can end naturally.
- **Three powerup types** that spawn every ~4 seconds, bounce off
all four walls, and are caught by paddle AABB overlap:
1. LONG — extends the catching paddle from 24 → 40 px for 5 hits
2. FAST — doubles ball x-velocity on the catcher's next hit
3. MULTI — spawns two extra balls on the catcher's next hit
- **Victory** at first-to-7 with a "PLAYER N WINS" banner and the
builtin fanfare, auto-returning to Title.
- **Audio**: 5 user-declared sfx (WallBounce, PaddleHit, Score,
PowerSpawn, PowerCatch) plus a title march and the builtin
fanfare for victory.

Verification:
- 616 compiler unit tests pass (cargo test --all-targets)
- cargo fmt / cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings clean
- 33/33 emulator harness goldens match
- examples/pong.nes builds byte-identically from source
