virtual ~CL_ClanApplication(): Description:

virtual char *get_title()

The application title

virtual void init_modules(): Description:

Before main() is called, or before the datafile compiler is invoked, this function gets called. Use it to initialize libraries.

virtual void deinit_modules(): Description:

Called after main() or after the datafile compiler completes. Use it to shutdown libraries.

int argc,
char** argv)

Parameters:
argc - The number of arguments to the program (c-style)
argv - A pointer to strings, containing the program arguments. The name of the program executable is always passed as first argument.
