Added some preliminary text on different interface types
{{WIP}}
Frontends have different graphical user interface (GUI) types. Some use the ''[[wikipedia:WIMP (computing)|WIMP type]]'' that uses windows, icons, menus and a pointer (mouse), examples of these interfaces are LaunchBox and OpenEmu. Others are intended for viewing on bigger screen (like a TV or arcade cabinet) and have navigation mostly optimzed for gamepads or joysticks, these types of interfaces are here referred to as ''HTPC'', RetroArch and HyperSpin are examples of this. There's also ''Touch'' interfaces which are intended for smartphones and tablet computers.
