How to compile

These are instructions on how to compile the code on various supported operating systems

Windows

Supported version is Windows 10

• Install CMAKE and make sure you add it to the global environment variables
• We are going to use Visual Studio 2017 (platform toolset v141) to compile the code
• Add the conan package manager extension to Visual Studio. Once this is done, modify the conan install directory by going to Tool/Conan Package Manager/Options and add the path:

$(ProjectDir)binaries\$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\.conan

• Right click on the solution and install the dependencies using conan
• To run the application you will also need to copy the whole "resources" folder into either "Debug" or "Release"

Linux

(Tested on Manjaro)

• Install gcc
• Install visual code
• Add the Microsoft C/C++ extension for Visual Code (if preferred you can also add Material Icon Theme but this is not mandatory)
• Install conan by running the line (needs python)

pip install conan

• Go into the project root directory and execute the conan pachage manager

conan install conanfile.txt

• Aditional tools to install

pamac install nlohmann-json

• Open Visual Code and build the project
• Before running the game we need to make the shared library visible to the system

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path to engine so>
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
