SDL2 installed on your system.

This project was created on Linux. For other systems some adjustements might be necessary.

A Makefile.mac is provided in case you want to build it on a Mac.

For windows, the Makefile might need some adjustments as well as the included .vscode config files.

This template uses as Makefile that was configured to build our application into the build/debug directory.

In order to build the application, type:

$ make

In order to run the application, type:

$ ./build/debug/play

You should see the string "Hello SDL2!" being printed to the console output.
