+- Rework curve container `Queue` to be more user-friendly
+  - `front(t)`/`pop_front(t)` now return the most recently added element before time `t`
+  - track lifetime of elements by storing insertion time (`alive` time) and erasure time (`dead` time)
+  - queue elements are now sorted by insertion time

+- Window settings are passed as `struct` instead of arguments
+- Sprite scaling is now handled in shader
+- Replace `constexpr` with `consteval` where appropriate
+- Optimize renderer
+  - Vectorize shader uniform (buffer) input storage
+  - Replace shared pointer usage with references
+- Use raw pointers instead of shared pointers in pairing heap implementation
+
+
