Implement a GUI

[TimerErTim]

I think one of the most important features Text-Fighter is missing is a GUI, so non technical users could start the game without the need of a terminal or console.

There's a really good pure Java library out there called Lanterna. The best part about it is, that it supports many native terminals and on top of that has a build in Swing terminal emulator if there is no underlying console available or supported. Furthermore, it has many features, but only on some very basic level, so there would be the need to write basic functions like readLine or println. I'm willing to do this because I've worked some bit with Lanterna before (and because it sounds like fun :) ).
Lanterna looks like this:

If this issue is assigned to me, it will most likely take some time, considering how long it took me to deliver PR #107. I would be more than happy to work on this nonetheless, because this would surely be a great enhancement for the overall game.

Lanterna looks good! I'll assign you the issue 💯

Hey I'm curious if I could take over? I want to get practice in java GUIs and this seems like a great project to do so and there doesn't seem to be too much activity since the initial request.

Let's see if @TimerErTim is still active on this issue. If they don't reply within a couple days, I will reassign the issue to you :)

Hey,
while I'm still active and working on this issue, I put its priority down and probably won't finish it anytime soon. I would recommend to reassign this issue to someone, who got a little bit more time on their hands.
