Tool Page

For every serious software development you need tools. Here is a list of tools we use to develop LabRPS:

Platform independent tools

Inkscape

This is a great vector drawing program. It adheres to the SVG standard and is used to draw Icons and Pictures. Inkscape is Free and Open Source Software licensed under the GPL. Get it at www.inkscape.org.

Doxygen

A very good and stable tool to generate source documentation from the .h and .cpp files.

Gimp

Not much to say about the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It can manipulate .xpm files which is a very convenient way to handle Icons in QT programs. XPM is basically C-Code which can be compiled into a program. Gimp supports the free .png file format used in the wiki.

Get the GIMP here: www.gimp.org

OBS Studio

Free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. More details on official website: obsproject.com

Tools on Windows

Visual Studio Community

Visual Studio Community is free for open source projects and small structures. Installation is modular. You can add support for a large number of languages including C++ and Python.

It can be downloaded at Visual Studio Community.

CamStudio

Is an Open Source tool to record Screen-casts (Webcasts). It is a very good tool to create tutorials by recording them. Its far not so boring as writing documentation.

See camstudio.org for details.
