"Memory" game on owner-draw menu

• Demonstration
• Create a "Memory" game, which uses owner-draw menus for displaying the items:
  • Game rules:
    • the game takes place on the board of 4x4 cards
    • the are 8 symbols, each of them appears on two randomly chosen cards
    • at the start all the cards are flipped over, so the symbols on the cards are not visible
    • the user reveals two chosen cards; if the symbol on both is the same, both cards become permanently revealed; if not, the are revealed only until the user reveals another card
    • the game is over when all the cards are revealed
  • Technical requirements:
    • each card should be a separate menu option; there are 4 submenus of a main menu, each containing 4 cards
    • use the images from here as the symbols; the images should be stored in program resources
    • the cards which are just revealed by the user should be marked red; if they become revealed permanently, they should be marked green
    • the menu should have an option for restarting the game (if the game is started / restarted, the symbols on the cards should be placed randomly)
    • after the game is over, the message box should appear saying the game has ended up
• Hints:
  • GetMenu(), GetMenuItemInfo(), SetMenuItemInfo(), MFT_OWNERDRAW
  • WM_MEASUREITEM, WM_DRAWITEM
  • LoadBitmap(), BitBlt()

• Approximate points:
  • using owner-draw menu 4.0
  • displaying bitmaps 3.0
  • game logic 3.0
