General

• Goal: an arcade cabinet program
• In the works:
  • Snake Game
• Tools
  • GNU compilers GCC and G++
  • SDL2 Library
    • SDL2_ttf Library
  • Flecs Framework

Build/Compile Instructions

• As of 5/18/2024,
  • The flecs framework is already in the include directory, but the SDL2 and SDL2_ttf library must be installed.
    • In building this project, I'm using:
      • SDL2-devel-2.30.2-win32-x86.zip from the SDL2 release linked above.
      • SDL2_ttf-devel-2.22.0-win32-x64.zip from the SDL2_ttf release linked above.
  • On Windows,
    • After cloning the repo, the file .\Arcade\src\build.bat will do most of the heavy lifting. There are two changes that need to be done.
      • In .\Arcade\src\build.bat,
        • Assign SDL2 (line 15) with the absolute path to SDL2 on your system
        • Assign SDL2_ttf (line 16) with the absolute path to SDL2_ttf on your system
    • Then, navigate to .\Arcade in the terminal and run .\src\build.bat.
    • After supplying the .\Arcade\bin with the necessary .dll files,
      • SDL2.dll
      • SDL2_ttf.dll
    • .\Arcade\bin\application.exe should be ready!
