Add an optional speedrun mode where the player can race against a translucent replay of their best run in each level. The ghost follows the recorded movement and animations, but remains purely visual and does not interact with physics or world objects. The HUD timer also shows whether the player is ahead or behind the ghost during the run. Co-authored-by: Baltazar Reis <baltazar.reis@tecnico.ulisboa.pt>

Can you pass this by reference, please?

I think this should pass the vector by reference as well.

Sorry for the delay! I have now switched to reference instead of making new copies of the vector, which yeah I think is way cleaner. Thanks for the input! |

Add optional SpeedRun ghost mode
This PR adds an optional speedrun mode where the player can race against a translucent replay of their best completed run in each level.
When enabled, the game records the player’s run and saves the best replay per level. On later attempts, a translucent ghost replays that run, including movement, direction, bonus state, and sprite animations.
The ghost is purely cosmetic and does not interact with physics, enemies, tiles, or world objects.
The HUD timer now also gives live feedback while racing the ghost, showing whether the player is ahead or behind with a time delta. The best replay is updated automatically whenever the player finishes the level faster.
