Basic C++ SDL2 project

This project is a basic C++ SDL2 project that uses CMake as a build system.

It could be used as a base for any SDL2 project. Just fork it, clone it and execute the rename_project.sh script. You will be prompted to enter the new project name, the new executable name and the new git repository, but you can keep the autodetected values. Finally, just commit and push the result to your repository.
