The library (.a file) is called libcorekit.a beacause all the library during compilation must start with 'lib' prefix
$@ rename with target file name and in the directory of c original file
$< takes the firts prerequisite, so the c file
-c flag is used to generate .o file
%.o: %.c
@$(COMPILE) -c $< -Iincludes -o $@-c $< means that the compiler should compile the source file specified by the first prerequisite without linking it, resulting in the generation of an object file
-Iincludes includes the 'includes' folder that contain all the headers that are to be included
R=\033[0m isn't a color but 's a control code to reset the text attributes to the default, including color.
