  Download the library from http://libagar.org/download.html (or if you feel adventurous, checkout the SVN tree from http://dev.hypertriton.com/agar/trunk). Use the library and give us your feedback (bugs, documentation bugs, feature requests). Improve the base widgets, or contribute new widgets. Advanced programmers can help make Agar more portable by writing drivers (http://libagar.org/man3/AG_Driver) to new platforms and graphics interfaces.
