Redzen

A general purpose C# code library.

Available in nuget form at nuget.org/packages/Redzen/

Much of the code in Redzen began life in SharpNEAT and other projects, and has found a new home in the Redzen library to allow for reuse of general purpose code.

This project endeavours to provide code that is high quality, well tested, clean, performant, efficient. The name alludes to an attempt to apply Zen philosophy to the creation of software.

• Collections

  • IntStack
  • A stack of int32 values. A simpler alternative to Stack\<int> that provides additional Poke() and TryPoke() methods. Optimised for stacks of Int32.
