[Team 2] In-game UI and sounds feature ticket.

[shiv-0831]

Description

During this sprint, our primary objective will be enhancing the in-game user interface (UI) and incorporating new audio elements to enhance the game's overall appeal. The upgraded in-game UI will encompass additions like a pause screen, dynamic background animations, and informative buttons and tiles that provide real-time information about the game's status. The second aspect of this feature will focus on adding new audio elements, including ambient background sounds, button click sounds, and interactive audio cues.
