Description : tournament processing library
libtour is a generic tournament processing library written in
C++. Rules, teams and schedule of a tournament are defined in the
Scheme programming language (Guile) and given to the library as
input. What makes libtour generic is the fact that it only expects
the structure of a tournament be described, and does not know anything
else about it. Therefore it is possible to make libtour interpret
virtually any sporting tournament.
.
Scheme language seems a perfect choice for tournament definitions as it
allows to easily intermix data and processing logic. Guile interpreter
packaged as a library (libguile) makes it simple to mix C and Scheme
function calls. Many thanks to the people who made Guile happen.
