Core

TracNav(TracNav/TOC_Development)?

Description

The core is a library of Orxonox, containing all central classes of the framework. It provides several functions and features, used by most of the objects in Orxonox and other libraries (network). Some functions are encapsuled in macros. Read the detailed descriptions and examples of the core-classes for more information.
