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 including including GLFW, PhysFS, OpenAL, Corona,
|
||
Freetype 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.html
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
If you need any help or have any questions check out IFAQ.html or visit photon's
|
||
homepage at http://photon.sourceforge.net/.
