• Responsive controls

🐛 Troubleshooting

Error: "raylib.h not found"

• Make sure you have Raylib installed correctly
• Verify that include paths are configured

Linking error:

• Check that you have all necessary libraries
• On Windows, make sure you have Raylib DLLs

Game runs slowly:

• The game is limited to 60 FPS
• Speed can be adjusted by modifying frameCount >= 12 in the code
