Made for Chico ACM-W Hackathon Spring 2026. By team GULLGAME.

How to run?

It only runs on Windows since we directly use Win32 api. Open the solution in VS and click "run".

• If you see an error on first launch, check a box to ignore it; it's all good and not a real error.

You can also download the release (executable) from github.
