Installation

You can try to download and launch build for your OS from the latest release.

In order to compile and build from sources, you need to install SDL2.0 and CMake. Client and Server compiles separately:

cmake -S Client -B Client/build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build Client/build

cmake -S Server -B Server/build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build Server/build

On Windows you need to put SDL2 sources to Client/extern/SDL2-2.0.20
