Add comprehensive type hints to all Python modules

- Added type hints for all method signatures and return types
- Implemented forward references for circular imports using __future__ annotations
- Added proper pygame type annotations (pygame.event.Event, Tuple types)
- Fixed float-to-int conversion issues with explicit int() casting
- Used strategic # type: ignore comments for pygame typing limitations
- All files now pass type checking with zero diagnostic errors
