Summary  
This chapter covers implementing state-driven UI interactions and animations for a grid of interactive cards: setting up the card layout, handling tap events to trigger smooth 3D flip animations, managing match-checking logic with asynchronous delays, and locking input while checks are in progress.

General domain of usage  
Web-based interactive game interfaces

Once the player chooses a topic, the game requires a **play screen** where the real action takes place. This is the heart of the memory challenge, with all the cards laid out for matching.

On the play screen, you'll:
1. Show a friendly header and a small label with the chosen topic;
2. Display a centered board with **20 cards (10 matching pairs)** based on that topic's emojis;
3. Start with all cards face-down;
4. Add smooth **3D flip animations** when a card is tapped;
5. Keep gameplay logic simple:
   - If two flipped cards match → they stay open;
   - If they don't match → they flip back after a short delay;
   - While two cards are being checked, no other cards can flip.

What happens when two cards are flipped and they match?
