The purpose of Gateware is to create lightweight, multi-platform libraries that handle functionality common to video games. At the moment this includes keyboard and mouse input libraries and file logging libraries. The intent is for current and future students to be able to utilize these libraries to aid them in the creation of their final projects. The current deployments for the libraries are the Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms.

Multi-Platform Development is a challenging yet exciting beast.
Multi-Platform Development is a challenging yet exciting beast. During the start of the month I had no idea that multi-platform development would be such a pain. I haven't really coded in the past few weeks but just the process of setting up the Linux virtual machines and Mac laptops for development and that has been quite the struggle. Also going through the old documents and updating them to help the future Gateware devs and setting up the new macs for dev use has been challenging considering I have never touched a mac before in my life. I'm excited to keep learning and to keep expanding my knowledge of these new platforms. That being said I hope I never own a mac for personal use.
