Few explanations how the game works

`shapes:` list defines 2-3 polygons (name + sides + interior angle sum);
`copies:` is a list of 3-4 selections (with possible repetition) drawn
from the same pool. serde_yaml expands aliases on parse, so the target
is the inlined form; players using `- &name` anchors inside the list
and `*name` aliases in `copies:` produce the same Value and pass via
the semantic short-circuit.

All randomised per seed (ChaCha8Rng XOR'd with 0x..0B).

Not wired into levels::registry() yet — integration belongs to a follow-up.

 A text dungeon game that teaches you YAML.
 
+The game uses actual YAML parsing libraries and generates semi-random levels
+by describing a secret YAML file that the user has to recreate in the editor.
+
+There are 11 levels in the game, so if you're on level 12, you won the game!
