make a settings menu and general refactoring

i added more to the main menu, as it has a settings menu now, that stores its files with json. i also changed the font to atkinson hyperlegible and made a BaseMenu class that takes care of the screen scaling for menus.

i also refactored the project folder structure to make it more organized.
