N2 - In this paper, we describe Yao, an adaptive optics simulation software package that has been around and used by the community for the past twelve years. It offers a very com- prehensive set of functionalities, covering many different wavefront sensors, deformable mirrors, reconstructors and control laws. CPU intensive core functionalities are coded in C, thus optiymized for speed. The glue is provided by yorick, which allows quick development, easy debugging and plotting functionalities. In this paper, we describe Yao, including installation, performance and documentation, and give examples of scripting capabilities.
