splatter-tennis/zombies.js

// The splatter phase: shamblers, gore decals, particles. The ball is the weapon;
// tennis scoring keeps running via gameplay.splatPoint. Zombies advance toward
// your baseline — one crossing it is a point for THEM.
// (zombies <-> gameplay is a runtime-only import cycle, same pattern as input.)
