[Bf-committers] blender sub-components

[Artem Baguinski]

thanks for replies guys. i'm beginning to understand it ;)

new questions;

1. are questions about tuhopuu appropriate here?

2. i've build tuhopuu with --enable-gameblender and indeed it doesn't
   say "game engine was disabled in this build anymore" but there are no
   realtime buttons if i just start my own .blend file. if i load some
   old file - the buttons saddenly appear!

3. is there some programming documentation of any of the gameengines?
   if i understood correctly game engine gets build as a library, so
   what could i do with it? i guess sources of blenderplayer would be
   the best documentation, correct me if i'm wrong?

  thanks in advance
