The original software was designed to work from the Linux console rendering via SVGAlib. It ran on par to the 1MHz Apple //e on an i386 (Pentium 100 class) or better machine. Later ports added X11 graphics support based on the original X11 DOOM source code drop, ty JC!
As of March 2015, the resurrected Apple2ix runs on MacOSX 10.9+, Debian GNU/Linux, and the ARM Android port is beginning to run =)

Project Goals
-------------
* Portability and code resilience across a wide range of modern platforms including MacOSX, desktop Linux/BSD, iOS, Android -- *But not Windows, just use the excellent [AppleWin](https://github.com/AppleWin/AppleWin) emulator if you're on Windows!*
* Reasonable emulation fidelity to the original Apple //e machine (timing, video, audio, etc...)
* Binary Mac App/DMG, iOS App (unlikely to be available in iTunes store due to Apple's short-sighted prohibition of emulator software *... but possibly it will be available as an app in the Cydia alternate store or similar*)
* Maintain binary Android App (Play Store and elsewhere)
* Language minimalism for core emulation modules (prefer coding in POSIX C over all else), except for CPU module which should be in assembly
* Good platform citizenship for menu system (prefer coding in language-of-choice promoted by platform--e.g.: Objective-C/Swift on Darwin, Java on Android, ...)
Android

Currently pre-alpha testing the Google Play Store version...PM me if you would like to be on the Android VIP testers invite =D

* Android NDK port -- in progress 2015
* DHIRES graphics are ugly, fix 'em
* iOS/iWatch (including Apportable) ports
* iOS/iWatch ports
* Proper VBL timing and vSync matching to the device (if available)
