Research direction
Review the existing PR #258 for prior work on Windows support. Examine the codebase to understand current Linux specific dependencies (e.g., audio playback). Research Windows compatible alternatives for those dependencies, and plan the installation process for Windows users. Engage with the community to clarify the scope of support required.
