Feature: Add reverse thrust (down arrow key) #7

Description

@leighmcculloch

Description

Add reverse thrust capability mapped to the down arrow key.

Motivation

  • When instinctively hitting the down arrow key, the browser scrolls down instead of the ship decelerating or reversing — this breaks immersion.
  • Reverse thrust would also just be a cool addition to ship handling.

Suggested behavior

  • Down arrow key applies thrust in the opposite direction the ship is facing (or opposite to current velocity).
  • Prevents the default browser scroll behavior when the game is active.
