The Xfce development tools are a collection of tools and macros for Xfce developers and people that want to build Xfce from Git.

XParam is a general-purpose tool for parameter handling in C++. It allows object serialization and deserialization in a format that is human-readable and -writeable, and is unaffected by issues of word-size and endianity. The XParam format is also not confused by objects containing pointers: it saves the objects in such a manner that their conceptual contents can be restored perfectly. For this reason, XParam provides an excellent tool for cross-program and cross-platform communication. In future, XParam may also be extended to allow cross-language communication, but for now it is only available in C++.

ZooKeeper is a distributed, open-source coordination service for distributed applications. It exposes a simple set of primitives that distributed applications can build upon to implement higher level services for synchronization, configuration maintenance, and groups and naming. It is designed to be easy to program to, and uses a data model styled after the familiar directory tree structure of file systems. It runs in Java and has bindings for both Java and C. Coordination services are notoriously hard to get right. They are especially prone to errors such as race conditions and deadlock. The motivation behind ZooKeeper is to relieve distributed applications the responsibility of implementing coordination services from scratch.

Paraphrasing the website: The ZThread package is an advanced object-oriented, cross-platform, C++ threading and synchronization library. It provides a high level abstraction of the native threading mechanisms to offer a great deal of flexibility and control. ZThread features interruptible Thread and Runnable objects for C++, control objects and implementations of concurrency design patterns. This includes semaphores, mutexes, condition variables as well as other more complex components. ZThread implementations are provided for POSIX and Win32 platforms.

The zzip library provides read access to zipped file in a zip-archive. It is based solely on free algorithms provided by zlib and can transparently access files being either real files or zipped files with the same file path argument.

Ren'Py is a visual novel engine that helps you use words, images, and sounds to tell stories with the computer. These can be both visual novels and life simulation games. The easy to learn script language allows you to efficiently write large visual novels, while its Python scripting is enough for complex simulation games.

This library is designed to make it easy to write games that run on UNIX, Win32, MacOS X and other platforms using the various native high-performance media interfaces (for video, audio, etc) and presenting a single source-code level API to your application. This is a fairly low level API, but using this, completely portable applications can be written with a great deal of flexibility.
