Burgerlib is a low level operating system library that presents a common API that operates the same on numerous mobile, desktop, and video game platforms. By using the library, it will allow near instant porting of an application written on one platform to another.
Burgerlib is not meant to be considered an engine, it's a framework on to which an engine can be created on top of and by using the common API, be compatible on dozens of platforms.
Filenames and paths are standardized, all text is UTF-8 regardless of platform. Display, input, audio, music, math, timers, atomics, and typedefs operate the same.

Python can be downloaded here.
After Python is installed, run pip install -r requirements.txt from the root folder. This will ensure buildme and other python scripts needed by the build system are present.
Once it is installed, run buildme to build everything in the root or projects folders, or buildme whatever.sln to build a specific project file. buildme will build all project files. cleanme will clean a folder of all temporary files.
To build with Open Watcom, download and install the compiler and set the environment variable WATCOM to point to the installation folder, usually C:\WATCOM

To build with Metrowerks Codewarrior, download and install the compiler. To install, first run CW_Windows_9.2.exe and then install CW_Windows_9.4_Update.exe. After installation, copy the file license.dat over the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Metrowerks\CodeWarrior\license.dat to update the license to a permanent one.
