How to setup

• Make sure you have the correct tools ready.
  • For example on Windows: Make sure you install the C++ compiler tools from Visual Studio Community, install the latest CMake, and install Visual Studio Code.
• Clone the repository.
• Make sure to initialize the vcpkg and libtcod submodules. If either folder is empty then the build process will fail.
  • The command to do this is: git submodule update --init --recursive
• Load this project in VS Code and install any recommended plugins. Most importantly: C/C++, C++ Intellisense, and CMake Tools.
• Using the CMake Tools plugin you can now build and run this project. Dependencies will automatically be installed via Vcpkg.
  • On Windows, when CMake Tools asks for a toolkit you should select Visual Studio Community ... - amd64.
• The project will now build and run with F5.
