Technical background for those who are interested
:
Game mechanics and boilerplate code is programmed in C and is the same codebase for all platforms.
Each platform has custom implementations for rendering/drawing, music, sound, input, asset loading and gametime.
The codebase is then cross compiled using VBCC (Amiga, Atari ST, C64), DJGPP (DOS) or SGDK (Megadrive).
All art assets are created as .png and are then converted to the target platform using a custom exporter.
All music is created as .mid and is then either converted by using a custom converter, OpenMPT or mid2vgm.
All sounds are created as .wav and are then either converted by using a custom converter or "sox".
