JoeyLib is the low-level porting library that isolates the game code from the target platform's hardware. Using standard ANSI C and JoeyLib allows a single codebase to run on the following targets:
- Apple IIgs
- x86 & x64 Windows
- x86 & x64 macOS
- x86 & x64 Linux
Future targets:
- Atari ST
- Amiga (including CDTV and CD32)
- Raspbian
- Pi Bare Metal
- Android
- iOS
- DOS?
- Acorn?
With the Apple IIgs being the most limited of the supported platforms, much of JoeyLib was designed with it in mind.
