Apply distinct styling to the top 3 scores on the leaderboard #8

🏆 Feature Request: Style Top 3 Players on Leaderboard
Description:
The current leaderboard is functional, but it’s difficult to quickly distinguish the top players at a glance. To improve visual hierarchy and engagement, we need to apply special visual styling to the top 3 ranked entries.
🎯 Requirements:
- Rank 1: Use the most prominent styling (e.g., gold/yellow text color, border, or background highlight).
- Rank 2: Apply slightly less prominent but distinct styling (e.g., silver/grey theme or subtle accent background).
- Rank 3: Use a subtle highlight (e.g., bronze/brown text or slightly bold font).
- All other ranks should retain the standard leaderboard appearance.
💡 Implementation Hints:
- Identify the top 3 entries when rendering the leaderboard — based on rank or score.
- Apply CSS classes such as
.rank-1,.rank-2, and.rank-3dynamically in the leaderboard rendering logic. - Define corresponding CSS styles for each class to visually differentiate them.
- Optional: Add subtle animations (like a glowing border for Rank 1) to make it feel more dynamic.
🧩 Files Likely Involved:
leaderboard.jsor equivalent script managing leaderboard data and rendering.style.css— add or modify styles for the rank-specific classes.- Any template file or DOM structure related to leaderboard display.
✅ Acceptance Criteria:
- Rank 1 entry stands out clearly with gold/yellow styling or highlight.
- Rank 2 entry is styled distinctly (e.g., silver/grey tone).
- Rank 3 entry uses a bronze/brown accent or similar visual cue.
- Other ranks remain unchanged in appearance.
- Visuals remain consistent across all screen sizes and themes.
