Architecting a Kotlin JVM and JS Multiplatform Project
summary
Implements a working NES emulator in a Kotlin multiplatform repo that runs on JVM/Android now and targets iOS and the web next, using expect/actual and typealias for platform abstractions, Kotlin/Native (LLVM) for native targets, and Gradle multiplatform plugins. About 70–80% shared code lives in a common module; audio/video buffers stay platform-specific. Performance tuning replaces Android Bitmap JNI calls with an int array buffer so the emulator already plays a few games, and coroutines handle cross-platform concurrency.
