Building Arcade Machine

You can build Arcade Machine either using the provided Makefile or by compiling manually. Choose the method that best suits your workflow.

Building with Makefile

Using the Makefile allows for incremental building, only re-compiling files that have changed. This is the recommended approach for efficient development.

1. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd arcade-machine

2. Run the build command:

   make

3. Start Arcade Machine:

   ./ArcadeMachine

To rebuild after making code changes, simply use make again. For a clean build, use:

make clean
make

Building Manually

If you prefer to compile without the Makefile, use the following command:

1. Compile the application:

   skm clang++ src/* -Iinclude -lstdc++fs -o test

2. Run the application:

   ./test
