Time for action — enhancing the OnObjectTouch method

The OnObjectTouch method has the object itself as a parameter, and the touch ID that was given optionally when the TouchCheck statement was called.

Inside the OnObjectTouch method, do a SELECT on the object's tag value.

Method OnObjectTouch:Int(obj:ftObject, touchId:Int)
Select obj.GetTag()

Check against the constant btnPlay, that is, the Play button:
```
Case g.btnPlay
```
Play the Select sound and start a new game:
```
g.sndSelect.Play()
g.StartNewGame()
```
Check against the btnBack constant. This is the Back button:
```
Case g.btnBack
```
Play the Select sound, activate the title layer, and set the game mode to gmMenu:
```
g.sndSelect.Play()
g.layerTitle.SetActive(True)
g.gameMode = g.gmMenu
```
