I spent a bit and created a webpage for us that basically ties all of the stuff here together. Currently there is little actual content other than providing a semi-easy to use interface.

Along with this, I am no wonderful C/C++ coder and only have the patience to sift through so much of their code before just making my own adaptation in scode :)... read more
