Time for action — enhancing the OnObjectTouch method

The OnObjectTouch method is updated as follows:

First add two FLOAT variables at the start which will store the difference factor regarding objects positions.
```
Method OnObjectTouch:Int(obj:ftObject, touchId:Int)
Local xdiff:Float
Local ydiff:Float
```
Check if game mode is equal to the constant g.gmMenu.
```
If g.gameMode = g.gmMenu Then
```
Start the Select statement on the object's Tag property.
```
Select obj.GetTag()
```
Check against the constant g.btnPlay (the play button). If yes, then start a new game.
```
Case g.btnPlay
g.StartNewGame()
```
Check against the constant g.btnScore (the score button). If yes, then show the high-score screen.
```
Case g.btnScore
g.ShowScore
```
Check against the constant g.btnExit (the exit button). If yes, then exit the app.
```
Case g.btnExit
g.eng.ExitApp(True)
```
