- Added static const int DUCK_DELAY_FRAMES = 30 to define the delay (1 second at 30 FPS).

- Added `int duckFrameCounter` to track frames the duck button is held.
  - Added `bool isDucking` to track crouch state and prevent re-triggering.
  - Updated `CPad` constructor to initialize `duckFrameCounter` and `isDucking`.
