How the Reward System Works

• When a player wins a game, they receive 0.02 APT as a reward.
• When a player loses a game, they lose 0.01 APT as a penalty.
• The player's balance is updated in real-time after each game.
• Achievement rewards are additional bonuses that players can claim based on their performance.

This system creates an engaging economic model where players are incentivized to play and improve their skills, while also adding an element of risk to each game.

• Visual Representation: Utilizes sleek, easy-to-read stat cards for quick performance assessment.
• Progress Bars: Each statistic includes a progress bar, visually representing its proportion to the total games played.
• Real-time Updates: Statistics are updated immediately after each game.

These statistics allow players to track their progress, analyze their performance against the AI, and strive for improvement.
