This example is the simplest possible openFrameworks app! It does nothing.
...Well, almost nothing. Although it may not be apparent, the emptyExample activates all of the default system states. (For example, it sets the default fill color to white; it just doesn't happen to draw anything with it.)
The emptyExample is great for making sure that your openFrameworks development environment is compiling properly. It can also be useful as a "starter template" for making simple programs.
The emptyExample will help you understand what are the bare necessities of an openFrameworks program. In this regard, you can think of it as a "Hello World" for OF.
