💡 What:
Added ANSI color codes (GREEN, RED, YELLOW, CYAN, MAGENTA) and emojis to the Number Guesser C++ CLI application. Replaced the Windows-specific system("pause") call with a standard C++ cin.ignore(10000, '\n'); cin.get(); implementation.

🎯 Why:
The original terminal output was plain text, making it harder to quickly parse game states (success, errors, higher/lower hints). Adding visual hierarchy through box-drawing borders and colored text significantly improves the player experience. Replacing system("pause") ensures the game can be compiled and run on Linux/macOS seamlessly while retaining the desired behavior of keeping the terminal window open upon completion.

Accessibility:

  • Added high-contrast color coding to error messages (Red) vs. success (Green).
  • Accompanied all colored text states with unique emojis (📈, 📉, ❌, 🎉) so that color-blind users can still distinguish feedback visually.
  • Replaced a system command with standard input handling, ensuring more deterministic keyboard interactions across operating systems.
