Detailed Description

ParaGlobal namespace contains a list of HAPI functions to access the boot strapper functionality.

Bootstrapper file is a xml file to be executed at the very beginning of the game engine. Its main function is to specify the main game loop file to be activated. When the ParaIDE set a solution to be active, it actually modifies the bootstrapper file to load the main file of that application solution.
