1- Add some interesting sound instead of pc speaker with sound(i)
2- Enable mouse to select no of players and click on buttons

I am a newbie in C, but very interested to go further with it.

Answer
Whatever you have asked is not part of C programming.
It is specific to compiler and also to platform you are working on.
The reason is, the sound card or mouse is a device and your operating system must be having a device driver for that.
If it doesn't have the driver, then it will not work.
And the compiler you are using must have some wrapper functions (exported interfaces) in C to access these devices.
So, your compiler should be having a related library and you will have to find that from your compiler documentation or you can join some user group of that compiler and start discussing there.
