RFS: cheapglk - the most basic Glk implementation
Hi,
this is the first of my seven sponsoring requests for packages related
to Interactive Fiction and the Glk library specification. I'm posting
them separately for clarity and CCing the corresponding ITP for each
package. Apologies for the number of emails. Any comments on the packages
are welcome.
The packages more or less depend on one another. See the end of this
mail for a crude dependency graph. All of the packages use cdbs and
libtool, and most use automake as well.
Name: cheapglk
ITP: #338473

Description: the most basic Glk implementation
This library is an implementation of the Glk user interface specification
that is as basic as possible. It uses simple stdio streams for input and
output and only supports a single window. It supports limited text styles,
but no graphics or sound.
.
Glk is a cross-platform, portable user interface library specification.
It can handle simple graphics but does best at text, which can contain
formatting and hyper-links. It is targeted primarily for interactive fiction
(text adventure) systems.
.
The Glk API version implemented by this library is 0.6.1.
.
