▶️ User use

📥 Installation

To install and try this project you need to:

• Download the most recent release of this project.
• Unzip the content of the downloaded file.

⚙️ Run

To run the code of this project you need to:

• execute the file run.bat, if needed give the permession for execution

🖥️ Development

📥 Installation

You need to install the graphics.h library and its relative libs. All files can be found here and should be placed in the respective folders: .h files in the compiler's include folder and .a files in the compiler's lib folder.

I personally recommend to use MinGW64 as the compiler for this project, and place his bin folder inside the windows System Enviroment Variables

⚙️ Deployment

After you have installed and configured the compiler you can run this command in the root folder of this project:

g++ main.cpp -o main.exe -lbgi -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32 -luuid -loleaut32 -lole32 -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system

I reccomend to use the VSCode extension code runner to do all this stuff by just pressing a button. My personal configuration is:

{
    "code-runner.runInTerminal": true, //true terminal //false output
    "code-runner.executorMap": {
            "c": "cd $dir && gcc $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt && .\\$fileNameWithoutExt",
            "cpp": "cd $dir && g++ $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt -lbgi -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32 -luuid -loleaut32 -lole32 -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system && .\\$fileNameWithoutExt ",
    },
}

All this should be placed inside the settings.json file from VSCode
