Run both the original Hamsterball EXE and our reimplementation under Wine with API tracing to compare D3D8/DInput/DSound call sequences. This validates that our reimplementation makes the same WinAPI calls as the original game.

| Geometry | MESHWORLD vertex buffer rendering (SpawnPlatform 34v) | Placeholder sphere + colored cubes |
| Textures | D3DXCreateTextureFromFile (PNG/TGA) | No texture loading yet |
| Scene System | 8-pass render pipeline | Single-pass clear + ball + objects |
| Input | DInput8 + BASS for polling | DInput8 keyboard + mouse polling |
