Windows build dependencies.

• Installed visual studio with tools for C++ and C.
• Installed CMake
• Meson (install using Python's pip)
  • pip install meson
• Git (added to PATH)

Build - Windows

git clone https://github.com/theretikgm/ProjectOnline
launch Windows Development command prompt in cloned project
meson setup build
meson compile -C build
compiled binary should be in build/src directory

Build - Linux

git clone https://github.com/theretikgm/ProjectOnline
cd ProjectOnline
meson setup --buildtype=release build
meson compile -C build

Windows coding environment setup (Visual Studio)

• It is possible to generate VS project using meson, but it is not suited for development.
• I will have to create project files manually in the future ig.

Windows coding environment setup (Visual Studio Code)

• Install C++ and meson (from mesonbuild) extensions.
• Clone project
• Open project in VSCode
• Use meson tasks to configure, build and run code.

Windows/Linux environment setup (CLion)

• Clone project
• run configure.bat or meson setup build command
• Open compile_commands.json file (the one in project dir) as project using CLion.

TODO list

• Review the event system, to support mouse offsetting and such
• Camera controller on entity
• Tilemap loading
• Text component
• Scene hiearchy
• Basic scene editing (far ahead)
• Basic networking
• Use EnTT groups instead of views
• Layout components / or library
• Lua
  • Support for all components
  • Box2D functions such as ApplyLinearImpulse
  • Box2D collision callbacks
  • Edit components of other entities
  • Expose parameters of other types such as Vec2 (table)
  • Somehow resolve the undefined global warning in lua script
  • Lua basic parameter exposing
  • Lua scripting beginning
• Box2D Collision callbacks
• Box2D shape offsetting
• RigidBodyComponent support for multiple fixtures (and shapes).
• Scene serialization and de-serialization
• Layering system + event catching
• Proper log handling.
• Move function calls from REN_ASSERT (as they could get removed with some compilers).
• Sandbox
• Convert ScriptComponent::script to runtime polymorphic class (instead of entt::poly, which is inflexible for this use case)
• Add support for multiple tags on single TagComponent.
• Scene view shortcut
• Remove SDL_net dependency
• Camera implementation
• Fix KeyInterface (segfault on some keys. For ex. arrow keys).
• Proper comments on camera and renderer implementation.
• Freetype text rendering
• Box2D implementation kind of
• Centralized rendering
• Move GameCore.cpp, Layer.cpp, LayerStack.cpp into their corresponding subdirectories
