Setup instructions

This repo does not contain the game's solution, but rather the source and content files of the game. In order to use these files you'll need to start a local project and import these files.

Namespaces

The files in this repo are all within the Ratcycle namespace. If you name the solution something different you will need to change the namespace in Game1.cs to the namespace of your solution. You will also need to prepend the Ratcycle namespace to the World class in Game1.cs
