Resolution scaling

Base resolution for the game is 800x450, however some of the assets aren't done for this resolution, resulting slight blurring even if playing with this resolution. Additionally this makes native attempt of implementation of nearest neighbor scaling result in clear artifacting.[2]
Scale the window as small as possible and use software like Lossless Scaling for near pixel-perfect scaling.
