Five enhancements to the Pong-clone game and user experience

Description

I have several ideas which would enhance the Pong-clone game experience.

  1. Vibrate on "Game Over"
  2. Show past and high scores after game is lost
  3. Bat should not travel beyond the screen boundary at top and bottom of screen
  4. Start game again with a press on the score display screen
  5. Ball velocity should increase gradually as the game progresses, ideally with every bat hit

Adding any or all of these features would make the game feel more complete and appealing to play.

Great job so far, BTW!
