This file is made to show the features supported by PerforVNM for each OS in a simple and easy way.
Android System is the most used OS in the world, found in everything from drones to fridges, and it's the first OS that PerforVNM is being developed for.
The coder options are the options that the coder can use to customize the VN code.
The optimizations are the options that the coder can use to optimize the VN code, for speed, size and etc.

We're sorry, but we don't have support for iOS yet, and neither have plans to support it in the near future due to the difficulty to build in non-Apple devices. (The PerformanC team doesn't have any Apple devices, but if you're willing to voluntarily help us, please contact us on our Discord)
We don't have support for them yet, but it's planned to be supported in the future after the completion of the Android code generation.
Spoiler (Not confirmed): We're planning to use C89 with the Vulkan API (or OpenGL/GTK) to make the VN maker. Important to note that they WILL share the same codebase.
Sadly, we don't have support for the web yet, but it's planned to be supported in the future after the completion of the PC code generation.
Spoiler (Not confirmed): We're planning to use JS, HTML and CSS to make the VN maker.
