Tier1: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 01:18, 10 April 2010

Tier1 contains Valve's version of the Standard Template Library, known as CUtl. It also provides various other Source-specific features, most notably console commands/variables. (High-performance game engines rarely use an operating system's own STL implementation.)

Tier1's source is included in the SDK at \root\tier1\. It compiles to a static library that is linked by both game DLLs.

This list does not include "variations on a theme". Open Tier1's project and inspect its contents for yourself if you want a complete run-down.
