 [accurate](https://www.github.com/Clownacy/Cave-Story-Engine-2/tree/accurate) | The main decompilation branch. The code intended to be as close to the original as possible, down to all the bugs and platform-dependencies.
 [portable](https://www.github.com/Clownacy/Cave-Story-Engine-2/tree/portable) | This branch ports the engine to SDL2, and addresses numerous portability issues, allowing it to run on other platforms.
 [enhanced](https://www.github.com/Clownacy/Cave-Story-Engine-2/tree/enhanced) | Based on the portable branch, this adds several enhancements to the engine, and makes it more accessible to modders.
