What it does

Claude…	The game…
starts working on your prompt	runs
finishes its turn	freezes: "Claude is done – your turn"
asks you a question (AskUserQuestion)	freezes until you have answered
waits for a permission	freezes until the tool has run
runs a subagent that finishes	keeps running (only the main turn counts)

The line under the field says why it stands still. Bricks, Worm and Meteors, once frozen in mid-play for a second or more, wait for `P` when Claude works again: your keyboard may still be at the prompt. Each game keeps its high score across sessions, also when you leave a game with `Q` or close
