Description
Isolate/abstract the parts of MGTK that deal directly with video hardware, in order to provide support for other modes/platforms.
Possible targets:
- Apple II 560x192 B&W DHGR (original MGTK code)
- Apple II 280x192 HGR (the code for this is present in MousePaint and could be ported over)
- Apple /// 560x192 B&W SHGR (Madeleine)
- Apple IIgs/VOC SHR (?)
- Others ?

Research direction
Start by locating the parts of MGTK that directly handle video hardware, then compare the existing Apple II HGR code in MousePaint and the Apple III SHGR work in Madeleine. Define the abstraction around the listed Apple II, Apple III, and Apple IIgs/VOC targets; done means the video-specific code is isolated enough to support additional modes or platforms.
