UI: Basic classes

[etcinit]

Basic UI classes skeleton

Our game will need some sort of GUI. So we need to build a system that is able to draw a user interface and manage menus.

Given that the rendering engine is not complete at this point, this task mainly involves designing class structure and hierarchy. UI components should implement the Drawable interface but not include any code in the draw() function.

Task details:

Number of people needed: 1-3
Complexity: Easy-Medium
Requirements: Java classes/packages knowledge
