MapGeneratorSpringPracticum

This is a map generator project, completed as part of LASA's Advanced Computer Science course.

The SFML Graphics Library is required to compile. Originally compiled using version 2.5.1.

The contributors are:

• Ben Woytek
• Cooper Roalson
• Hollister Ream
• Nathan Williams
• Walter Auby

Building in Visual Studio 2019

Make all modifications in the Project -> Properties window. You can either statically link the libraries or use DLLs.

For All Configurations add the following changes.

Add the entire SFML-2.5.1\include directory path to C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories and the entire SFML-2.5.1\lib directory path to Linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories.

Add _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS to C/C++ -> Preprocessor -> Preprocessor Definitions. This is not part of SFML itself, but rather to ignore unneccessary warnings in our code. If you're using the static libraries, add SFML_STATIC as well.

For the Release configuration add the following changes.

Append the following to the beginning of Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies.

opengl32.lib;freetype.lib;winmm.lib;gdi32.lib;sfml-graphics.lib;sfml-window.lib;sfml-system.lib; If you're using the static libraries, the sfml libraries should have -s appended to look like sfml-graphics-s.lib instead.

For the Debug configuration add the following changes.

Append the following to the beginning of Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies.

opengl32.lib;freetype.lib;winmm.lib;gdi32.lib;sfml-graphics-d.lib;sfml-window-d.lib;sfml-system-d.lib; If you're using the static libraries, the sfml libraries should have -s appended before the -d to look like sfml-graphics-s-d.lib instead.

Compiling and Running

If you're not using the static version, the SFML DLL files must be placed in the same directory as the resulting EXE file.

Building in XCode

Setting up the library

Download SFML for Mac and open it. Copy the contents of the Frameworks folder into /Library/Frameworks. Copy the contents of the extlibs folder into /Library/Frameworks. Copy the contents of the include folder into /usr/local/include. Copy the contents of the lib folder into /usr/local/lib. Copy the contents of the templates (the SFML directory) folder into ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates.

For each of these steps, create the folders on your filesystem if they don't already exist.

Creating a project

To make XCode link SFML, the easiest way is to create a new project with the SFML CLT template.
