A (discontinued) WIP game engine written in C++ and based on SFML.

• cmake
• git
• SFML 2.4 libraries
• C++ environment with C++11 support (on Windows at least Visual Studio 2015)
• Boost filesystem

1. Open a terminal in a directory where you want to download the repository and type:

   $ git clone https://github.com/mphe/GameLib.git
   $ cd GameLib
   $ git submodule update --init --recursive

2. Open cmake-gui

3. Use the path to the repository you just cloned as source directory. Although it is recommended to use seperate directories, the build directory and the source directory can be the same.

4. Hit "Configure", select the generator you need and let it configure.

5. Configure the project as you wish and run "Configure" again when you make changes.

   Flag	Function
   GAMELIB_BUILD_TESTS	Build unit tests
   GAMELIB_BUILD_EXAMPLES	Build examples
   GAMELIB_BUILD_EDITOR	Build the level editor
   GAMELIB_DEBUG_LOG_DEBUG	Print debug log entries in a debug-build
   GAMELIB_DEBUG_LOG_RELEASE	Print debug log entries in a release-build
   GAMELIB_DISABLE_LOGGING	Completely disable logging (currently required when compiling with Visual Studio 2015, because of a compiler bug).
   GAMELIB_USE_CCACHE	Use ccache if available
   GAMELIB_SFML_ROOT	Points to the SFML directory. Only set this if it could not be found automatically. On Windows you usually have to set it manually.

   Don't touch anything else unless you know what you do.

6. After successful configuration hit "Generate" to generate the project files.

7. Compile it using the generated project files

8. The output files are stored in the build directory under "bin" and "lib".
