docs(README): add emojis to headings and welcome line for enhanced visual appeal

[Copilot]

Overview

Enhanced the README.md with appropriate emojis to improve readability and visual appeal while maintaining all existing content and structure.

Changes Made

Header Emojis

• Main title: Added 🌌 galaxy emoji to create a space-themed header: "# 🌌 Bahrian Novotny My Universe"
• Welcome line: Added ✨ sparkle emoji at the end of the welcome sentence for a friendly touch
• Project Mariner section: Added 🛠️🚀 tools and rocket emojis to highlight the build/creation theme: "# 🛠️🚀 Project Mariner: How This Site Was Born"

Inline Emojis

Added tasteful, contextual emojis to the Project Mariner narrative:

• 🕹️ joystick emoji next to the mention of the joystick control system
• 📷 camera emoji next to the camera rotation controls feature
• 🪐 planet emoji when introducing the planets feature

Design Decisions

• Used only one emoji per sentence to maintain professionalism
• Selected emojis that directly relate to the specific nouns mentioned in the text
• Avoided adding emojis to code blocks, links, or other technical content
• Preserved all existing markdown structure, formatting, and line breaks
• Maintained UTF-8 encoding for proper emoji rendering across platforms

Before/After Preview

Before:

# Bahrian Novotny My Universe
Welcome to my universe.
# Project Mariner: How This Site Was Born

After:

# 🌌 Bahrian Novotny My Universe
Welcome to my universe. ✨
# 🛠️🚀 Project Mariner: How This Site Was Born

All changes are purely additive—no content was removed or restructured. The README will now render with enhanced visual appeal on GitHub while maintaining its original meaning and information.

Original prompt

Goal: Add appropriate emojis to README.md to enhance readability and visual appeal, without changing meaning or restructuring content.

Scope and constraints:

• Only modify README.md.
• Do NOT remove or rewrite existing text beyond minimal punctuation/spacing adjustments required for emoji placement.
• Keep all sections and wording intact; just add emojis to headings or key sentences.
• Preserve all existing Markdown structure and links.

Emoji plan (apply where text matches):

• Main title: prepend with a space-themed emoji.
  • Change "# Bahrian Novotny My Universe" to "# 🌌 Bahrian Novotny My Universe".
• Intro paragraph: append a sparkle to the welcome line.
  • Change "Welcome to my universe." to "Welcome to my universe. ✨" (keep sentence casing as-is).
• Section heading "# Project Mariner: How This Site Was Born": add build/rocket emoji.
  • Change to "# 🛠️🚀 Project Mariner: How This Site Was Born".
• Where appropriate in the Project Mariner narrative, optionally add subtle inline emojis near nouns (e.g., joystick 🕹️, camera 📷/🎥, planets 🪐) but keep usage minimal and tasteful (no more than 1 emoji per sentence and only when the noun appears explicitly). Do not add emojis inside code or links.

Acceptance criteria:

• README.md renders correctly on GitHub.
• No content is removed; only emojis are added plus minor spacing.
• Line endings and encoding preserved.
• Commit message: "docs(README): add emojis to headings and welcome line".
