Part
Approach
Game code
C source is split into focused platform, audio, drawing, simulation, feature, weapon, menu, and rendering modules, then composed as one optimized translation unit.
Content
A generated, suffix-deduplicated string table stores the catalog shared with DVD Survivors.
Rendering
A software framebuffer and compact drawing primitives replace shipped textures and fonts.
Audio
Music and interaction sounds are synthesized during play instead of decoded from recorded files.
Packaging
The raw PE is stripped, linked for size, and compressed into the single contest executable.
