Revision as of 09:26, 20 March 2005

This page was written right after this wiki was introduced, more to play around and get this thing started than because I have so much to say about GiGi. More knowledgable people please add to this.

The GiGi development library (sometimes called GG) is used by FreeOrion to handle most of the basic UI and graphics things (windows, fonts, input, images, and such). It uses (at least in this project) SDL internally for platform-dependant things, and OpenGL for graphics.

An important link between this library and FreeOrion is that tzlaine is the head programmer of both projects.


CVS can be obtained in Linux using these commands:

cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/gigi login (if it asks for password, just hit enter)

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/gigi co GG

Note: Sometimes, the SourceForge CVS-server is under heavy load. If the commands above fail with 'EOF from server', just wait a few minutes and try again.
