 - Added support for keyboard and mouse input
 - Added fullscreen mode support (toggle using F11)
 - Disabled V-Sync for better performance
+- Added a high-resolution timer path on Windows for smoother high-FPS gameplay timing
 - Device's screen resolution will be used as the game resolution instead of using a fixed resolution (1920x1080)
