Add license #3

Currently, without a license, the project is considered source-available, but without terms defining what it can be used for, it presents a potential legal issue for those who wish to study the source and use any learnings in their own projects, or to modify and redistribute the game.

Popular license choices include Apache and MIT which are permissive licenses allowing for derivative works to be released without making the source modifications available, and GPL which is a copyleft license ensuring that any modifications published are required to share their changes.

Adding a license to the repo would clear up any confusion about the terms this code is released under!

I notice now that the license is specified in the readme, so please disregard!
