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.

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.
