Building

Building is based on Moros1138's pge-template-project CMake files

Arch Linux

Install the required packages with the following command

sudo pacman -Sy base-devel cmake git libpng mesa

Generate project makefiles and build with CMake

# Use the -d flag to build for debugging
./build.sh

You can run the application using the built executable

./build/olc-game-of-life

Windows

Install a C++ compiler like MinGW

Generate project makefiles with CMake

cmake . -G "MinGW Makefiles"

And build the project

mingw32-make

Web build with Emscripten

Web builds use Emscripten, and need the following additional packages:

sudo pacman -S --needed emscripten

Build by passing in a new target flag to the build script

## Optionally pass the -d flag to build for debug
./build.sh -t web

You can run the application by opening a local web server with emrun

emrun build/olc-game-of-life.html
