This library provides the file format that was developed for the Adonthell Project to wider audience.

Status 0.1.1Early beta. The API still changes a bit. File formats are frozen (only additions). FeaturesHop over to the overview page for a schematic of the design.

Platform (Byte order independent) file format. XML file format for version control. Tools for file inspection. Checksum in binary format to avoid problems with corrupt files. One API independent of file format. C library (lowest common denominator) Simple API Dependancieszlib. libxml2 for XML format. (optional in svn) RoadmapAdd typed arrays. Add C++ interface (already usable - and used). Write GUI editor. Add Python interface. Example: Highscore #include

typedef struct
{
char* name;
int max_level;
float score;
} record;

void put_record(abf_flat_t* flat, const char* name, record* rec)
{
abf_flat_t* sub = abf_create();
abf_put_string(sub, "name", rec->name);
abf_put_sint16(sub, "max_level", rec->max_level);
abf_put_float(sub, "score", rec->score);
abf_put_flat(flat, name, sub);
abf_destroy(sub);
}

void save_highscore(const char* fname, record* highscore, int n)
{
abf_flat_t* flat = abf_create();
int i;
abf_put_uint16(flat, "n", n);
for (i=0;i
