/**
@mainpage GCompris-qt Core Documentation
The GCompris core comprises different classes and QML components, that can
be used by activities for their purposes. The core can roughly be
subdivided into
-
@ref infrastructure, that consists of some fundamental source code
infrastructure needed by the bare GCompris application to run and
-
@ref components that define some common building blocks for activities
and thus assure a consistent integration into the GCompris ecosystem.
Accordingly, activity developers should first have a look at the
@ref components section to get an overview of the activity interface they
have to implement.
Most of the classes from the @ref infrastructure section are not of immediate
use for activity developers, unless they want to contribute/extend core
functionalities. One exception is the ApplicationInfo singleton
that contains some accessor methods to the native layer, that are often of
use for concrete activitites.

/**
@defgroup infrastructure Core Infrastructure
This section contains all objects that implement internal core functions
needed by the bare GCompris application to run.
Among the more important classes are the following:
-
The ApplicationSettings singleton maintains the persistent settings of
GCompris.
-
ApplicationInfo is kind of a general purpose container for helper functions
often accessing native platform properties that are needed in many places
of GCompris.

/**
@defgroup components Core QML Components
This section contains all core QML components, that encapsulate common
behaviour and can be used by activities in order to integrate well into the
GCompris ecosystem.
Each activity has to provide meta information about itself by implementing the
ActivityInfo template and derive from ActivityBase as a container for its
QML scene.
Each activity @em must add a navigation Bar to its viewport. Activities that
support sublevels should use a Score element. The Bonus component can be used
for audio feedback upon winning/loosing. If an activity uses per-activity
configuration it should use DialogActivityConfig.
For audio playback the GCAudio wrapper should be used, and GCText's purpose is
to unify Text handling in GCompris.
Besides these, there are more components that provide controls or
styles for GCompris.
Cf. Template.qml for a skeleton that can also be used as a starting point for
developing new activities.
Last but not least have a look at the existing activities to learn by example.
