• C++ compiler (e.g., GCC),
• SDL2 library/SDL2 Release (SDL2, SDL2_ttf, SDL2_image)

Installation

• Clone this repository to your local machine.
• Compile the code using your C++ compiler (use Makefile to compile).

For VS code like code editors

• If your terminal supports 'make' command just type it to compile.
• Else copy the code in Makefile and run the command if all is set it will be compiled and main.exe file will be displayed otherwise you messed up anywhere during setup.
• Run ./main in your terminal.
