feature request : pause #5

Would love a pause option!

I actually considered that when writing it, then realized.. that's basically cheating, isn't it? You could just pause whenever you have a new piece, decide where it goes while paused, and then move it into place. I suppose there could be an easy mode that has pausing and drastically reduced scoring 😄

Fair enough. Or maybe one pause per minute or something to that effect? A pause option would just be nice for coming and going in the terminal for quick sessions.

In most games, when you pause it blanks out the board to prevent that kind of cheating.
