ci status

download build here! for bestest build. to run executables from CI artifacts, download the artifact, extract it, and run the executable from bin/.

how do I run it

download the right package for your OS. extract the zip and enter bin/ folder. then run the executable.

but, but, buuuuuut which one should i downloadddddd?~?!?!?!??!?!?

any would be fine, static would be foolproof*, probably. on linux, gcc would be universal*, probably.

compiling instruction

use cmake! if you are unsure, checkout github actions workflow ci.yml for more info. cmake template from CMake SFML Project Template by SFML Contributors under Public Domain or MIT

this commands works on my machine(tm)

cd KMITL-ProgrammingFundamentals-GameDev
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=ninja -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++ -G Ninja -S KMITL-ProgrammingFundamentals-GameDev/ -B KMITL-ProgrammingFundamentals-GameDev/build
cmake --build build/ --target all -- -j 4

then, for distribution, run cmake --install build --config Release to copy libraries.

replace Debug from -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug with following options

• Release for release build
  • also append
    • -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=FALSE to build static executable
    • -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=TRUE to build dynamic executable
• RelWithDebInfo for release build with debug info
• MinSizeRel for release build optimized for minimal size
