Game Rules

Game Start:
- The game starts when the player presses the space key.
- Any other key press before pressing space will not start the game.
Gameplay:
- The player increases the runner's speed by pressing the right arrow key.
- The player's speed and total distance covered are displayed on the screen.
- The game runs for a total of 30 seconds.
Game End:
- After 30 seconds, the game displays the total distance covered and the maximum speed achieved for 7 seconds.
- The game then returns to the starting screen, ready for a new session.

Usage

Game Initialization:
- The game begins with a starting screen showing a video with "GET READY... GET SET... AND RUN!".
Running Simulation:
- Press the space key to start the game.
- Increase your speed by repeatedly pressing the right arrow key.
Viewing Results:
- After 30 seconds, view your total distance and maximum speed displayed on the screen for 7 seconds.
Restarting the Game:
- After viewing the results, the game returns to the starting screen, ready for another run.

Notes

Ensure your system has the necessary hardware to handle video processing for an optimal experience.
The game speed adjustments are based on the intervals between your key presses, creating a dynamic running experience.
