Research direction

Start by locating the CommandType enum, CommandParser, and GameEngine.HandleHelp entry point. Add the Help command, recognize help and ?, and format every command with brief descriptions using cyan ANSI color. Done means the acceptance criteria are met and help displays correctly at any time.

Description

engine enhancement squad:banner

The game currently responds to unknown commands with a list of valid commands, but there's no dedicated help command. Players should be able to type help at any time to see available commands with brief descriptions.

Acceptance criteria:

  • Add CommandType.Help to the enum
  • CommandParser recognizes help and ? as help commands
  • GameEngine.HandleHelp() prints a formatted list of all commands with short descriptions
  • Use cyan ANSI color for the help text
