Installation

Affect can be installed with opam:

opam pin add affect https://erratique.ch/repos/affect.git

If you don't use opam consult the opam file for build instructions.

Documentation

The documentation can be consulted online or via odig doc affect.

Questions are welcome but better asked on the OCaml forum than on the issue tracker.

Sample code

A few basic sample programs can be found in the test directory.

• ping.ml, client and server using Funix to do useless networking on your machine.
• mouse.ml, proof of concept interfacing with the SDL event loop.
• happy_eyeballs.ml, an implementation of a happy eyeballs

You can run them with b0 -- ping or b0 -- mouse.
