Hi Bob, You're looking at the SDK documentation, which is used to write an application in C++. You don't need any of that to evaluate the engine, but should you choose to use it later and build the engine for Android, the end product is an .so which is all of the compiled SDK and Engine C++ code and is used by the included Java files for the engine project.
Please find the engine documentation at www.batterytechsdk.com/engine-documentation Thanks Robert Green DIY at http://www.rbgrn.net/ On Fri, Jan 18, 2013 at 2:32 PM, bob <b...@coolfone.comze.com> wrote: > Ok, thanks.
