# Platform -- Windows

`DUSK_TARGET_SYSTEM`: `windows`  
Source layer: `src/duskwindows/` (planned, does not exist yet)  
Status: **Planned -- not yet implemented**

---

## Overview

Windows desktop is a planned target. No source layer, CMake target file,
or toolchain exists yet. The intended architecture closely mirrors Linux:
SDL2 for windowing/input, desktop OpenGL for rendering, pthreads (via
MinGW or MSVC pthreads shim) for threading.

| `DUSK_INPUT_KEYBOARD` | yes |
| `DUSK_INPUT_POINTER` | yes |

| `DUSK_PLATFORM_ENDIAN_LITTLE` | yes |
| `DUSK_TIME_DYNAMIC` | yes |
| `DUSK_THREAD_PTHREAD` | yes |

## Notes

- Will be little-endian (x86-64 Windows).
- Expected to share `src/dusksdl2/` and `src/duskgl/` with Linux and
  Knulli; only a thin `src/duskwindows/` layer for OS-specific
  functionality (save paths, system dialogs) should be needed.
- Save files will likely live in `%APPDATA%` or a sibling `saves/`
  directory.
- No cross-compiler needed; MSVC or MinGW-w64 on Windows or a
  cross-compile from Linux.

Update this document when the Windows target is implemented.
