RetroAchievements helper library for game emulators

rcheevos is a set of C code, or a library if you will, that tries to make it easier for emulators to process RetroAchievements data, providing support for achievements and leader boards for their players.

Keep in mind that rcheevos does not provide HTTP network connections. Clients must get data from RetroAchievements, and pass the response down to rcheevos for processing.

Not all structures defined by rcheevos can be created via the public API, but are exposed to allow interactions beyond just creation, destruction, and testing, such as the ones required by UI code that helps to create them.

Finally, rcheevos does not allocate or manage memory by itself. All structures that can be returned by it have a function to determine the number of bytes needed to hold the structure, and another one that actually builds the structure using a caller-provided buffer to bake it.

It is currently only available as a static library.
