Reach the flag

What we are doing

Touching the pole wins the level: one overlap check and one more state, 'won'. The end screen already appears for any state that is not 'playing'; it only needs the right words.

```js
if (overlaps(player, flag)) state = 'won'

  ctx.fillText(state === 'won' ? 'Level complete!' : 'Game Over', canvas.width / 2, 160)
```

What it means

• After the pit check, touching the pole sets state = 'won'; update stops, the end screen shows.
• The big text is Level complete! when won, Game Over otherwise. Space starts a new game in both cases.

Your turn

1. In update, under the pit check, write the flag line.
2. In draw, change 'Game Over' in the end screen to the conditional.
