EPOC Framework
EPOC is a object oriented wrapper for Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) that I built from from scratch. EPOC is short for Experimental Platform for Objectoriented C++. It was originally designed to be used as a learning platform in university courses teaching beginner level C++ at Blekinge Institute of Technlogy.
With EPOC you can create visual applications/games even with little programming experience. It is very simple to create images, animations, text, sound, and music with EPOC. EPOC is although very flexible and allows the user to dig deep if he wants to, or keep it very simple if that’s needed!
