cpsc585

getting started (windows)

  1. install "Desktop Development with C++" in the visual studio installer (it provides cmake)
  2. open powershell and cd to the root directory of the project
  3. run the command Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process (still in powershell in the root dir)
  4. run the command .\init.ps1 in powershell (still in powershell in the root dir)
  5. setup your IDE to run with the project. (if not using IDE, I'd recommend just using the commands from the init scripts manually)
  • Install "Desktop Development with C++" in the visual studio installer (for cmake) if you haven't already
  • It will ask which cmake thing to use, use <project_root>/code/CMakeLists.txt
  • Everything should build for you wooooo lmk if there's an issue
  1. To run, use the green button dropdown to find cpsc585-client.exe or someth it'll work I think

NOTE: dylan i think you and i are fine without instructions

project organization

  • the project is divided into three chunks right now.
    • lib - systems code / code that supports the game but could easily be reused in other games.
    • client - the actual game / game logic
    • tst - for unit tests

Hot-reload example

Version-controlled configs are stored in code/assets/configs. These are then copied into build/client/configs, similar to the shaders.

DESERIALIZING:

  1. Modify the config file in build/client/configs/CarPhysics.toml with thing running
  2. Press t - you should see the console print what was deserialized

SERIALIZING:

Press s to serialize your new config back into the version-controlled config file. Note that this actually reads your config again cause idk if the serializer should know abt the state of the program
