Compiling

You need a C++11 compliant compiler and SFML 2.0+ to compile Mini Tanks. After you’ve downloaded the source and dependencies, you can use cmake to compile Mini Tanks.
On any Linux distribution, these are the typical steps :

$ git clone https://github.com/amhndu/tanks-game
$ cd tanks-game
$ cmake .
$ make

If you don’t have cmake and don’t wish to install it either, then you can simply compile Mini Tanks by compiling all the cpp files and then linking them with SFML using your IDE/compiler. e.g. With g++, you can enter this command :

$ g++ -o miniTanks *.cpp -std=c++11 -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system

Note : To compile on windows, you also need to link the sfml-main component.
