====== LibTate ======

Project development is active and progressing (finally), but there have been major changes and I may end up redoing the documentation (reorganizing the namespace structure among other things.)  --- //[[tjgrant@tatewake.com|Terence J. Grant]] 11/16/2006 04:57//

===== About =====



LibTate refers to the entire software package, including the LibTate library, all associated files required to create it, examples programs distributed with it, supplied documentation, and any and all files distributed under the [[#download]] section of this web site.



The LibTate library is a cross-platform library written primarily in C++ whose purpose is to assist in the development of video games, simulation systems, animation systems, and emulation projects, among other things.



The library itself is separated into various [[projects:libtate:doc:api:packages]] in order to properly abstract sections of functionality.
