# SAF
SAF is a [LRS](lrs.md) [C](c.md) [library](library.md) for small, very [portable](portability.md) [games](game.md) (and possibly other kinds pf programs); it can also be seen as a [fantasy console](fantasy_console.md). It was made by [drummyfish](drummyfish.md). The repository is available e.g. at https://git.coom.tech/drummyfish/SAF. [MicroTD](utd.md) is an example of a LRS game made with SAF, but even more complex games such as [Anarch](anarch.md) have been ported to it.
SAF is a [LRS](lrs.md) [C](c.md) [library](library.md) for small, very [portable](portability.md) [games](game.md) (and possibly other kinds pf programs); it can also be seen as a [fantasy console](fantasy_console.md). It was made by [drummyfish](drummyfish.md). The repository is available e.g. at https://git.coom.tech/drummyfish/SAF. [MicroTD](utd.md) is an example of a LRS game made with SAF. By now there's a number of many other games and toys such as a [procedural](procgen.md) [football](football.md) simulator, [chess](chess.md), various [minigames](minigame.md) and even more complex games such as [Anarch](anarch.md) have been ported to it.
The whole SAF library is implemented in a [single header](single_header.md) file (currently a bit under 5000 [lines of code](loc.md), which is mostly due to including all the [boilerplate](boilerplate.md) for all possible platforms it supports, the actual SAF logic is pretty small) and offers a simple [API](api.md) for programming games, i.e. functions for drawing pixels to the screen, playing sounds, reading buttons, computing the [sine](sin.md) function etc., and it handles boring/annoying issues such as the game main loop. It also has built-in a number of [frontends](frontend.md) that allow compiling a correctly made SAF games to any supported platform among which are [SDL](sdl.md), [SFML](sfml.md), [X11](x11.md), [ncurses](ncurses.md) (terminal), even [open consoles](open_console.md) such as [Pokitto](pokitto.md), [Arduboy](arduboy.md) or [Gamebuino META](gamebuino.md). There is an option to auto-convert a color game to black-and-white only displays. Some PC frontends add emulator-like features such as time manipulation, [pixelart upscaling](pixelart_upscale.md), [TAS](tas.md) support and so on.
