  SIGIL FORGE  —  native desktop binaries (v0.1 preview)
============================================================

Sigil Forge is a retro-game console front-end, written entirely in the Sigil
language and compiled to NATIVE binaries by Sigil's own self-hosting compiler
(cc0) — no virtual machine, no emulator layer, no interpreter, no Python. One
Sigil source is compiled per platform; only a thin platform layer differs.

DOWNLOAD  (pick your platform)
------------------------------------------------------------
  macOS (Apple Silicon / M-series)   forge-0.1-macos-arm64
  Linux (64-bit / x86-64)            forge-0.1-linux-x86_64
  Windows (64-bit / x86-64)          forge-0.1-windows-x86_64.exe

------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO RUN
------------------------------------------------------------
Forge v0.1 is a console (text) program — run it from a terminal.

• macOS
    1.  Open Terminal, cd to your Downloads folder.
    2.  chmod +x forge-0.1-macos-arm64
    3.  ./forge-0.1-macos-arm64
    The binary is ad-hoc signed (not notarized), so on the first run macOS may
    say it "cannot be opened." If so, either:
      - right-click the file in Finder > Open > Open, OR
      - run:  xattr -d com.apple.quarantine forge-0.1-macos-arm64

• Linux
    1.  chmod +x forge-0.1-linux-x86_64
    2.  ./forge-0.1-linux-x86_64
    (Static binary — no libraries or install needed.)

• Windows
    1.  Open Command Prompt or PowerShell, cd to the download folder.
    2.  .\forge-0.1-windows-x86_64.exe
    Windows SmartScreen may warn about an unknown publisher — choose
    "More info" > "Run anyway."

WHAT YOU'LL SEE
------------------------------------------------------------
Forge prints its library — the 25 launchable systems and the emulation core
each one runs on (Forge's shared-CPU leverage map) — followed by the launcher
selection line. Example:

    SIGIL FORGE  -  retro console, running NATIVE on macOS
    Library - launchable systems:
      [ 1] NES            (6502)
      [ 3] Genesis        (68000)
      ...
      [25] CHIP-8         (CHIP-8)
    25 systems ready.  Select a number to launch.
    > launch 3:  Genesis on the 68000 core.

------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT THIS PREVIEW IS (and isn't, yet)
------------------------------------------------------------
This is the portable launcher / library layer running native on all three
desktops — proof that "write once in Sigil, compile native per platform" works.
Actually playing a game in a window with a controller and sound is the next
milestone: it needs a few more host hooks (window/display, gamepad, audio) in
the native runtime, which are in progress. The memory engine that runs the
emulator cores already works natively.
