### Backends

- [x] X11

- [x] Win32

- [ ] Cocoa

### Compiling

compiling this library is easy enough, just put [miniwin.c](./src/miniwin.c) & [miniwin.h](./src/miniwin.h)

somewhere in your project and when compiling you can choose to specify what backend you want to use.  The library

by default will check if `MWIN_BACKEND_*` is defined, if not it will use x11 if `__linux__` is defined or Win32

if `_WIN32`/`_WIN64` is defined.

| Backend |      Definition      | Linker Flags |

|---------|----------------------|--------------|

| Win32   | `MWIN_BACKEND_WIN32` | `-lgdi32`    |

| X11     | `MWIN_BACKEND_X11`   | `-lX11`      |

### API

The API is pretty self-explanatory & can be found in [miniwin.h](./src/miniwin.h), except

the Pixel buffer you will be writing into will be allocated, resized & deallocated by the

library itself, you just have to write into the Pixel buffer and call `mwin_swap(...)`

to show the updated buffer onto the screen.
