Since there're just 4 directions on the keyboard, we can enjoy exquisiter control using XBOX controller. Furthermore, some additional novel functionalities are available with XBOX controller.

Completed things:

1. Register a window class.
2. Create a WIN32 windows.
3. Message controlling & dispatching.
4. Get controller's data from XInputGetState().
5. Buttons & Combobox(resposible for font-chooser).
6. Turn Input format to Output format(Base on ARIA API).

TODO list:

1. How to detect "Rotate".
2. (Vibration feedback).
