Currently the game reacts to literally any key press, including OS-level keys like Alt, Tab, Windows key etc.
This leads to two problems:
- Unintended game start
If the user presses any key that is not intended for input (e.g. Tab, Alt, Win key), the game immediately continues to the character screen.
This forces the game to render the character & background map, which increases GPU load even if the user didn’t intend to start yet. - Alt-Tab is impossible without triggering the start
