// Central controller. It owns score, lives, and the game State, and reacts to the
// three things that change that state: an invader killed (score), the wave cleared
// (next wave), and the player hit or invaders reaching the line (lose a life /
// game over). The State enum is the step-4 "state changes" learning target.
