StudentSimulatorGame

NOTE It was my first uni project, so it's a bit chaotic and doesn't obey every OOP rule, but i was really satisfied with the result.

🚀 Quick Start

Tutorial prepared for Visual Studio IDE. This project uses vcpkg in manifest mode. This means the SFML library will be downloaded and configured automatically when you first build the project.

1. Install and Setup vcpkg

1. Open PowerShell or CMD as an Administrator and navigate to a folder where you want to keep vcpkg:

   git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git    # download
   .\vcpkg\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat     # build
   .\vcpkg\vcpkg integrate install     # integrate

2. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/kubapadlo/StudentSimulatorGame.git

3. Open the project: Double-click StudentSimulatorGame.sln to open it in Visual Studio 2022.

4. Set the Working Directory (Crucial for Assets):

   • Right-click on the project name in Solution Explorer -> Properties.
   • Go to Debugging -> Working Directory.
   • Set it to: $(ProjectDir)
   • This ensures the game looks for fonts and textures in the assets/ folder.

5. Run the game: Good luck, have fun! :)
