ClickChamp

ClickChamp is a fast-paced reflex game built as a learning project to explore mouse and keyboard input handling using MinGW and raw Win32 API.

Your goal is simple:
Click the highlighted squares as quickly as possible to score maximum points.
The faster your reaction, the higher your score!

Instructions to play the game

1. At random intervals, one of the boxes on the grid will get highlighted.

2. Your objective is to click the highlighted box as quickly as possible.

3. The faster you click, the more points you earn.

4. Clicking outside the box or after the highlight disappears will count as an incorrect click.

5. To keep things challenging, the highlight duration decreases over time — so stay sharp!
