Yes it does. But I meant, the commandergenius port was intended to make
desktop games playable on android with minimal changes, by emulating a
keyboard and mouse. SDL2 is very different, it's intended for games which
are natively mobile, so they wouldn't provide that sort of emulation layer.
So gfx_sdl2-based android/ios ports are probably going to be a lot of work.
I'm not intending to look into it in the near future.
