GameCode++ is an open source C++ library designed to help programmers more easily and quickly develop 2D games. The library is to be made as general as possible, such that any genre of game can be easily and efficiently programmed using the library. The GameCode++ library will be written to be compiled with the GCC C++ compiler, however given the appropriate libraries it should be possible to compile GameCode++ games using any ANSII compliant C++ compiler. To start with, GameCode++ will run on Windows only. A long term goal will be to be able to port GameCode++ to Linux and OSX, and from the start portability will be a design requirement.
