Installing Ansel is super easy, all you have to do is clone the git repository and start programming in the Game project.
Alternatively, you can create your own project with or without Visual Studio. In order to do this you must set Ansel/src as an include directory as well as AnselECS/src if you wish to take advantage of the Component System. Both Ansel.dll and AnselECS.dll must be in your executable directory, and their corresponding *.lib files found in bin/'Your Configuration'/Ansel.lib and bin/'Your Configuration'/AnselECS.lib respectively. Also the include directories which are Ansel/src and AnselECS/src.
The only file you need to include is Ansel.h even if you are using the Component System. At the moment, the AnselECS.dll and AnselECS.lib files are required in order to run Ansel. I'll find a way around this in the future once I understand how I want them to be implemented. No preprocessor definitions are needed!
For a detailed description of how to get started, read Getting Started.pdf (which is continually getting updated so there may be mistakes).
