Install

This game can be installed by using make:

make install

Make will put the game files in /usr/local/cpp-opengl by default, and create a wrapper script to load shaders and textures. This can be changed with the PREFIX environment variable.

Nix can also be used to run the project straight from the repo:

nix run github:joinemm/cpp-opengl
