Telescope Documentation

Welcome to the documentation for the Telescope.

Telescope is a multimedia library for making games, visualizations, and other interactive applications.

It wraps SDL2, Vulkan, and the Bullet Physics SDK, providing a unified API for windowing, rendering, input, physics, and audio.

It also provides a C interface that allows higher-level bindings to be written in any programming language that can call C code.
