Welcome to **JoeyLib**!
**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 Windows
* x86 macOS
* x86 Linux
Future targets:
* Amiga
* Atari ST
* DOS?
* Acorn?
With the Apple IIgs being the most limited of the supported platforms, much of JoeyLib was designed with it in mind.
# Features / Limitations
* 4-bit color (16 colors, default palette is the [EGA Palette](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Graphics_Adapter#Color_palette))
* 4-bits per pixel
* Double buffered rendering
* High-speed tile blitting
* Custom memory management
* Custom image format support (and conversion tools)
* MOD music
* Sound effects
* Joystick/Gamepad/Keyboard input
