## Build Requirements

This app uses a SDK-style project file, which means you are required to use [Visual Studio 2022](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/) or newer. Visual Studio will prompt you to install any missing components once you open the [sln](./Dawn.sln) file.

For anyone not wishing to install that, they atleast need:

- Windows 10 (older versions work probably too, but the repository is not configured for those)

- [Net 6.0](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/6.0)

- [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) with the [C# Extension](https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode) provided by Microsoft

- [git](https://git-scm.com/)

(This should be everything, but it's possible i missed something. So please tell me if that's the case.)

Once you got the requirements setup, you can compile this yourself, by running the ``build.ps1`` file on Windows.
