                MOPPI DEMOPAJA SDK
                   version 0.5b


This is the first version of Moppi Demopaja SDK.
There most likely are some errors and the documentation
is incomplete.

This SDK contains libraries to write importer and
effect plugins to the Demopaja and also source and
libraries to play Demopaja files.

Future additions will be exporter plugins and
display driver plugins. The display dirver plugin
will eventually allow for example Direct3D, or pure
software rendering effects to be written. More on
that in the future.

The documentation is places in the "doc" directory
and contains full class reference and some explanations
how things work. I hope to make the documentation better
in the future so any feedback is welcome.

There are two example plugins included. The first plugin
contains a importer for PCX images and a simple effect
which displays an image. The other plugin includes
ASE loader and ASE player. The examples are in "example"
directory. The "example" directory also contains the
Demopaja player.

Since the SDK is in rather early stage some stuff will
change in the future. Stay tuned and be patient.

The classidgen.exe is a random plugin class ID generator.
See the documentation where to use it.

To compile the examples you will need Bass 0.8
extracted in the bass08 directory. Bass can be
downloaded from http://www.un4seen.com/music/
Also some plugins included in the example requires
Intel JPEG Library. The IJL comes with Demopaja
package.
