The source code of our project is located in the Geometry_Wars folder.


Doxygen documentation and doxyfile can be found in the main folder


TO set everything up follow the instructions below. 




Steps to compile the project:

* Source code will only compile with C++17 standard.
  In visual studio this settings can be found in the project properties under
  C/C++ >> Language >> C++ Language Standard >> ISO C++ 17 (/std:c++17)

* Create a new solution and add all the .h and .cpp files found in:
  - /Geometry_Wars/
And all its subdirectories

* Make sure that the data folder is inside of the Geometry_Wars folder, and the Geometry Wars folder can be found, by moving up folders from the executable's directory:

  E.G. When the executable is in:
  C:\Users\aart\Documents\AP\AP\x64\Debug\Geometry_Wars.exe

  then having the shader folder located at:
  C:\Users\aart\Documents\AP\Geometry_Wars\shaders

  Is okay because the "Geometry_Wars" folder is visible by moving up from  
  C:\Users\aart\Documents\AP\AP\x64\Debug\Geometry_Wars.exe to
  C:\Users\aart\Documents\AP\

* Three external libraries are used (with Johan's permission): GLM, glad, and SDL2. For each:

* GLM is header only and thus the only thing that needs to be done is add the folder /glm_include/ to the include directories, under project properties. 

* GLAD has one c file which we have already added to the sources. The folder 
/glad_include/ needs to be added to the include directories.

* SDL2: add the folder /SDL2-2.0.9/include/ to the solutions include directories, SDL3 has three.lib files, that need to be added. Under project properties >> VC++ Directories >> Library Directories, add /SDL2-2.0.9/lib/x86/ or /SDL2-2.0.9/lib/x64/, and under Linker >> Input >> Additional Dependencies add SDL2.lib, SDL2main.lib, SDL2test.lib. Lastly add SDL2.dll to the executable directory. For more information see:
https://www.wikihow.com/Set-Up-SDL-with-Visual-Studio-2017

* Lastly when using SDL sometimes it is necessary to specify the subsystem: in project properties, under linker >> system >> SubSystem, select Console. If you do not follow this step, you will get a runtime error when executing the application.
