Summary  
This chapter covers implementing stateful counters and timers to track user actions and elapsed time, including pause/resume logic, display updates, and proper state reset.

General domain of usage  
Interactive games

The game is fun and rewarding, let's make it more engaging by tracking how well the player performs. You'll **count** their **moves** and measure their **time**, then show the results when the game ends.

- One move equals flipping two cards;
- The counter increases every time the player makes a new attempt.

Move counter

- Starts when the first card is flipped;
- Pauses whenever a Fun Fact pop-up is open;
- Resumes when the pop-up is closed;
- Stops completely once the final pair is matched.

Timer

Alongside the "You won! 🎉" message, also show the player's total moves and total time.

Win screen update

Both the move counter and timer should reset properly when the player starts again.
