@section platforms-windows-rt Windows RT

Windows RT is a restricted subset of Windows API, used for UWP / "Metro" /
Windows Store apps. The major difference is lack of access to APIs that are
common in Win32 world, such as memory-mapped files, DLLs or environment
variables.

In particular, Windows RT doesn't provide a direct access to OpenGL, the only
possibility to use it is through ANGLE. See @ref building-windows-angle and
@ref platforms-gl-es-angle for more information.

For Windows RT you need to provide logo images and splash screen, all
referenced from the `*.appxmanifest` file. The file is slightly different for
different targets, template for Windows Store and MSVC 2013 is below, others
are in the @ref Platform-Sdl2Application-bootstrap-winrt "SDL2 bootstrap application".

The assets are referenced also from the main `CMakeLists.txt` file. You have to
mark all non-source files (except for the `*.pfx` key) with `VS_DEPLOYMENT_CONTENT`
property and optionally set their location with `VS_DEPLOYMENT_LOCATION`. If
you are using `*.resw` files, these need to have the `VS_TOOL_OVERRIDE`
property set to `PRIResource`.
