💡 What

Added ANSI color output, ASCII borders, and emojis to the CLI Number Guessing game in NumberGuess/NumberGuess.cpp. Replaced system("pause") with standard C++ inputs.

🎯 Why

Terminal applications can be text-heavy and hard to scan. By applying structured borders and color-coded feedback (e.g., Red for invalid/high, Yellow for low, Green for success), we reduce cognitive load and provide a more pleasant user experience. Replacing system("pause") improves cross-platform usability so Linux/macOS users don't face sudden exits.

📸 Before/After

Before: Monotone text prompt, abrupt exit on Linux if directly executed.
After: Colorful, emoji-rich structured interface with a graceful exit prompt on all platforms.

♿ Accessibility

Improved legibility and scanability through clear color distinction and visual icons for directional hints (too high vs too low).

- Added ANSI color constants for visually distinct feedback.
- Used ASCII-art borders for headers.
- Included trend emojis (📉, 📈) and pointer (👉) for better interactivity and aesthetics.
- Replaced Windows-specific `system("pause")` with cross-platform standard input waits (`cin.ignore()`, `cin.get()`).
