@cmuratori TIL that HMH is not written "from scratch" https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/2tigu3/casey_muratoris_handmade_hero_a_complete_game/cnzbrhw … cause you use GDI+ and Win32 :).
@sol_prog Well, more importantly, you can't ship a game on Windows without calling Windows. Note that we _don't_ actually use GDI...

@sol_prog ... for rendering or loading bitmaps! We wrote it all ourselves. We only call GDI to give the final render to Windows. -
@sol_prog So we stay "as from scratch as possible" even on Windows, and avoid using any of their libraries to do things we _could_ do.
