Improving UI responsiveness: Use of INCLUDE and MERGE tags to re-use layouts
Description
To improve the application's UI responsiveness, taking into consideration the further expanse of the project as well, as more scenes are included, re-usability of layouts to embed the scene specific layout in the generalised layout would enhance the efficiency. I propose to use the include and merge tags for this. This is a powerful way to create reusable layouts. The merge tag will help to avoid redundant layouts, further enhancing the application.
Mocks
Example: the mini game end xml files.
Portion of the specific xml file with 
The merge content(game_end.xml):
Output:
Acceptance Criteria
