Phase 4 (Final) - Combat System, Enemies & File Save/Load Engine

What's Included in Phase 4

Phase 4 completes Slayie by adding enemy encounters, combat health checks, game-over conditions, and persistent game-state saving and loading using local text files!

Key Features Implemented

• Enemy Encounters (E): Hostile goblins placed across the dungeon. Colliding with an enemy engages combat, dealing 25 damage to the player before eliminating the foe.
• Game Over State: If playerHealth drops to 0 or below during combat, the dungeon run concludes with a game-over terminal screen.
• Persistent Save Engine (saveGame): Pressing [K] saves your active coordinates, health, coins, and the exact remaining map layout into slayie_save.txt.
• Save State Loader (loadGame): Start menu prompts to either launch a fresh run or restore your previous checkpoint directly from disk.
