1.b Building Programs for Windows

At this moment we offer 3 different options to build the project If light weight is your goal you may opt for TCC, but please note that TCC builds without optimizations so the game will run considerably slower. Visual Studios and MSYS2 are the other options available

Visual Studios

verify that Desktop Development with C++ is checked and the other options to the right

Git is also suggested for Visual Studio

build instructions will be in the Compile Section

TCC (Tiny C Compiler)

build instructions will be in the Compile section

MSYS2

the perks of this option is you will be able to git clone, run the python scripts, and compile all-in-one. will go over build instructions later in the Compile section

Install instructions are on the site

will go over build instructions later in the Compile section

MSYS2 Setup now to save time later

  • Launch MSYS2 MINGW64

    type: pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-pillow

    after it's done type: pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-python-yaml

  • Verification

    type: sdl2-config --cflags

    should output: -IC:/msys64/mingw64/include/SDL2 -Dmain=SDL_main

    if so, type: sdl2-config --libs

    should output: -LC:/msys64/mingw64/lib -lmingw32 -mwindows -lSDL2main -lSDL2

  • Install Make

    type: pacman -S make

  • Install GCC

    type: pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc

    that's all for now, head over to 2. Cloning and Setup
