Does using a software rendering for easier console porting makes any sense?
This question was inspired by examining the code of pure software renderer at https://github.com/zauonlok/renderer It looks like its capabilities are really impressive and there's next to no dependencies involved other than a plain C compiler. I imagine if you can get a screen handle to swap a screen buffer then you can basically run these samples on anything. So I wonder: can a software rendered like this be used for implementing graphic part of the game so that porting it to any exotic platform would be a breeze (or at leas much easier than dealing with all the differences between all of the different GPI APIs)...?

[Source] Integer-only 3D Software Renderer in pure C! Info in comments
PiSHi LE (PL) is a subset of the 3D graphics library used in King's Crook. FW LE is a subset of the windowing library used in King's Crook. Just like King's Crook, this code follows the same restrictions: 1. Everything must be done in software, no explicit usage of hardware acceleration. 2. No floating point types or literals, everything must be integer only. 3. No 3rd party libraries, only C standard library and OS libraries for window, input, etc. 4. No languages used besides C. 5. No compiler specific features and no SIMD. 6. Single threaded. https://github.com/LMP88959/PL3D-KC If you are using macOS, go to fw.h and change FW_X11_IS_MACOS to 1. Compiling for macOS/Linux: cd PL3D-KC gcc -lX11 -lXext -O3 *.c fw/*.c -o pl ./pl Compiling for Win32 is a bit more involved, I've only used Visual Studio to develop for Windows but this program doesn't use anything other than the Win32 library and winmm.lib (don't forget to link against winmm.lib!). Of course, you're not limited to using Visual Studio, feel free to use any build system you're comfortable with under Windows. Don't forget to compile with max optimization!
