Building Locally

In order to build the game engine locally you need to install vcpkg and the Ninja build system.

To install vcpkg:

1. Run git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git to download the vcpkg project in the directory that you want.
2. Run vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.sh -disableMetrics to set up vcpkg
3. Add VCPKG_ROOT to your environment variables with the directory to vcpkg. To do this run export VCPKG_ROOT=<path/to/vcpkg>

NOTE: If you are using brew on macOS and encountering errors at build-time, try installing vcpkg manually.

To install Ninja:

• Apt: sudo apt install ninja-build
• Brew: brew install ninja

After vcpkg and Ninja are set up run the following commands to download the repository.

1. git clone git@github.com:tuvus/GameEngine.git
2. cd GameEngine
3. make run

The game should now run and the window should pop up.

To list all commands simply run make at the root directory
