- Virtual analog controls: A basic virtual controller with tracked-touch analog control and digital buttons.
- OverlayManager: Add and manage multiple Direct2D overlays for a Direct3D scene.
- SoundPlayer: Add rudimentary sound effects and play music as background audio. Updates to Direct3D resource management.
