Thank you for downloading photon,
|
|||
|
|
photon is an API which is designed primarily to ease creation of hardware
|
|||
|
|
accelerated 2D games with OpenGL and other open source & cross platform
|
|||
|
|
libraries. Photon aims to simplify portable game development, enabling
|
|||
|
|
developers to focus on the gameplay. Photon uses OpenGL for hardware accelerated
|
|||
|
|
rotation, alpha blending, resizing, and drawing. Photon is built entirely on
|
|||
|
|
free software, using libraries like GLFW, PhysFS, OpenAL, and boost. Using
|
|||
|
|
Photon does not require knowledge of any of these libraries as their needed
|
|||
|
|
functionality is wrapped entirely within Photon’s rich class library so that
|
|||
|
|
anyone with a decent grasp of C++ can use Photon.
|
|||
|
|
photon is a cross platform API, designed primarily for game development.
|
|||
|
|
photon is designed to run on as many operating systems as possible, and OS
|
|||
|
|
support is only limited by libraries which Photon depends on, at the moment
|
|||
|
|
photon should run on Windows, Linux, OSX, and other Operating Systems
|
|||
|
|
which have OpenGL support.

If this is a source distribution you'll need to build photon before you can use
|
|||
|
|
it in your own applications, for details on how to build and install photon
|
|||
|
|
check out INSTALL.txt.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If this is a binary distribution you can start using photon right away by
|
|||
|
|
linking the photon library (found in the lib/ subfolder) and it's dependencies
|
|||
|
|
with your applications.
