 * @brief Defines classes for handling messages between the game
 * engine and the GUI frontend.
 *
 * This header file includes class definitions for managing and
 * sending messages from the Micropolis game engine to the graphical
 * user interface (GUI) frontend. It facilitates communication and
 * interactions between the game's backend and frontend, ensuring a
 * responsive and dynamic user experience. Classes defined here

 * subclasses such as `FrontendMessageDidTool` and
 * `FrontendMessageMakeSound` for specific message types.
