## Description

**Pong Block** brings the classic arcade game to your WordPress site! This block
lets users play a single-player game of Pong against a computer opponent, with full
accessibility, responsive controls, and extensive customization.

 * Feature-rich inspector settings for difficulty (paddle size, ball speed, winning
   score).
 * Three accessible color schemes (Dark, Light, High Contrast) to ensure WCAG-compliant
   visuals.
 * Overlays for Start, Instructions, and Game Over with auto-focused controls for
   keyboard users.
 * Control paddle via keyboard arrows or big touch-friendly buttons.
 * Responsive game area and controls for desktop, tablet, or mobile.
 * Game and UI are fully localizable via WordPress translation functions.
 * No scripts unless the block is present—minimal frontend impact.
